[Trigger] Arrow key movement . . . anyone?

[thedeathunterxx]

using and RPG camera almost always has to come with arrow key movement (Left , right, up, down )


What is the best way to do this?
I have one but it takes up 7 triggers, so i wont post it.

any ideas?

• Up key movement
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Up Arrow key
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order <YOUR UNIT> to Move To ((Position of <YOUR UNIT>) offset by (0.00, 10.00))

• Down key movement
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Down Arrow key
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order <YOUR UNIT> to Move To ((Position of <YOUR UNIT>) offset by (0.00, -10.00))

• Left key movement
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Left Arrow key
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order <YOUR UNIT> to Move To ((Position of <YOUR UNIT>) offset by (-10.00, 0.00))

• Right movement
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Right Arrow key
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order <YOUR UNIT> to Move To ((Position of <YOUR UNIT>) offset by (10.00, 0.00))

I think this should do it. However, the movement 'Up movement' will cause the unit to go to the north part of the map, not towards the point where the unit is facing. Same with Left makes him go to the east, Down to the south and Right to the west.

If this causes the 'Move' animation to repeat only the first 1/10th of a second of the animation, you have to increase the offsets from 10 to something big enough to play the whole animation (e.g. 500). This will cause the unit to go 500 further. To make him stop when you release the arrow key, add this trigger for each arrow key:

• Stop Up key movement
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Releases the Up Arrow key
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order No unit to Stop

I think (but not sure) that the "Presses key" event only happens once, and not periodically, until the key is released. Therefor, to make you move as long as a key is pressed, you'll have to do something like:

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 presses the Right Arrow Key
• Actions
  • Set RightArrow = true

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 releases the Right Arrow Key
• Actions
  • Set RightArrow = false

• Events
  • Every 0.2 seconds of game time
• Conditions
  • RightArrow = true
• Actions
  • Set TempPoint1 = Position of <YOUR UNIT>
  • Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint1 offset by (10.00, 0.00))
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint1)
  • Unit - Order <YOUR UNIT> to Move To TempPoint2
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint1)

your warm.

you dont have a stop trigger. And if you press one of the keys, you will move in baby steps.\

The fix angles are so that he wouldn't spin in random directions ( Angles might get messed up.



By the way, i know there are some leaks in here ( Didn't clean up any points or what not.

Ummmm, I believe that there is one in either Tutorials or Spells and Systems.

so does this like not work then?

And do you want your person to move only up left right down or 2 at a time?

 

[thedeathunterxx]

this works, but it is sloppy

it chops his walking sometimes.
and it may leak.

there are better systems out there, and i want to see if anybody had any better than this one .
