[Question] Best option for moving nodes in real time

This question is extremely similar to #376

I would like to move nodes around within a session with new location info that is not known ahead of time. Looking over the mobility section (link) it seems like ns-2 scripting and EMANE events are not viable options since they rely on locations being compiled before runtime.

Expanding on #376:

1. Using the setposition() method of CoreNode, can I just move the nodes around within a while loop whenever new location info comes in? e.g.

# Setup session
node = session.add_node(CoreNode)
…

while True:
	if new_location_info:
	        node.setposition(x=new_x, y=new_y)

1. Has there been any update to the gRPC documentation, besides link? gRPC seems to be the solution landed on in #376

They are updated on develop branch now and yes gRPC would likely be the best. The assumed behavior for relative links working, only works within the repo and when the documentation pages are generated it broke the links =(.

On develop I am making the links hard coded to master, for better or worse =(.

If you look at the doc file directly, they will work: https://github.com/coreemu/core/blob/master/docs/grpc.md

The specific method you likely care about is: https://github.com/coreemu/core/blob/e0842197e389f3f14c73dc5db6cc26f78e665f62/daemon/core/api/grpc/client.py#L496-L504

Which is using the grpc call: https://github.com/coreemu/core/blob/e0842197e389f3f14c73dc5db6cc26f78e665f62/daemon/proto/core/api/grpc/core.proto#L56-L57

Apologies for the delay.

I just did a clean install of an Ubuntu 20.04 VM and CORE 7.0.1. After changing the InterfaceHelper.create_interface() method to .create_iface() to accommodate for 7.0.1, the above script worked as expected. Thanks for your help!
