How to: Up button = Unit moves a bit up

[s1ngap0rek1d]

How to I do this?

Event
Condition
-Player 1 press the Up button
-Player 1 holds the Up button
Action
-Set x=Position of unit, x
-Set y=Position of unit, y
-Set x2= x , y + 50.00

Cause I'm making a game where you use the keyboard, making laptop players easy to play.

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) presses the Up Arrow Key
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Order (Unit) to Move To (Position of (Unit)) offset by (how far he moves) towards facing angle of (Unit)

Play around with that to fit what you want it to do =)

hmm... it looks like through the way you do it, doees it apply to all units of red, all units of all players, or just red 1 unit?

if so, what should i do?

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

hmm.. are you planning on having ALOT of units for each player or like a rpg kinda thing with just a single hero and thats it.. (it would apply to the unit that you specify in the trigger) can be one unit or every unit of type, etc..

i was thiking, not lots of people like some units, so imma make them choose which sprite they want (all of them have the same skill), so the move buttton applies to any unit for 1 player.

so in other words...

i want move up for Unit A / B / C /D / E for player 1... and if i change unit, it still works.

and yes.. sumthing like a rpg, just moving.

        • Else - Actions
          • Do nothing

That is what you're looking for yes..? But if the player is selecting more than one unit it will make them all move.. soo.. fix it up but thats what it should look like.. =D

As for holding the up arrow key i dont think that possible..

What I would use is 3 triggers. One to track when you press the button. One to track when you release the button. And one to constantly cycle while the button is pressed.

Player Presses up:
Start Movement TRIGGER

Player Releases up:
Stop Movement TRIGGER

Movement TRIGGER:
Every .X seconds
Set POINT = point offset by X, (facing angle or whatever direction)
Order UNIT to move to POINT
Destroy POINT

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

Oh.. yes.. that could work.. i didnt realize there was a releases up thing.. =D listen to vegavak for the holding up thing =D

I thought there were 100s of such systems in the spell section. Try using one of them.

If they leak or are not what you are after, you can always learn from them and use concepts they used to make your own system that does exactly what you want.
