[Trigger] Advanced Arrow Key (More Than 8 Angles)

[RiotZ]

Okay, so I am making an arrow key movement system. How it's supposed to work, is when you combine left and right with forward it changes the angle slightly as you are moving. Like driving a car... Up key is gas, left and right are steering.

It turned out dismal, the only thing that works is the move forward command. Help.
The left and right key triggers are the same, just with different variables and arrow keys ofc, posting both of them is unnecessary. Tell me if I should post the forward actions.

• Unit Is Moving Left
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions

          • If - Conditions
            • XY_MovementLeft[(Player number of (Picked player))] Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set XY_TargetPoint[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (XY_TargetPoint[(Player number of (Picked player))] offset by 75.00 towards ((Facing of XY_ControlledUnit[(Player number of (Picked player))]) + 10.00) degrees)
          • Else - Actions

Where is the action to actually move the unit?
also, use this to prevent leaks:

• Set I = (Player number of (Picked player))
• Set Point1 = (Position of XY_ControlledUnit[I])
• Set Point2 = (Point1 offset by 75.00 towards (...))
• Unit - Move XY_ControlledUnit[I] to Point2
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point2)

I know there are things in here that don't quite make sense, and aren't efficient, but that is not my concern at the moment I just want to get the system working first. The GUI shown below works properly, the GUI in the first post does not. Thank you for your rapid response.

a) Don't use booleans, just adding the player in the group will confirm the direction in the loop trigger.

b) Don't constantly order it, use "Unit - Move unit" and use a periodic event of "0.03 - 0.05" for that.

c) Still, your "Up" triggers have the moving orders, while the "Left" don't.

A: Already knew that. It doesn't seem like you are reading any of my responses.

B: More specific please

C: You really should read my entire post dude, the first one. Up is gas, while right and left are steering, like a car, it does say "More than 8 angles).

Use two separate variables, one that will have the position of the controlled unit and the other one that sets the offset point. Use that offset point as a reference to the other trigger. This trigger always makes your unit to end up in the center of playable map area, doesn't it?

No, they just wander aimlessly, so much so that I don't know the problem, the only command they obey correctly is to move forward. An actual example of the GUI would be nice if you have the time.

What I'm trying to do, is basically make a system for driving. Up = Forward. Left = Steer Left. Right = Steer Right. Don't need anything down yet.
