Keyboard Movement

[GodsHand]

Okay, probaly ALOT of people may have asked this question but i was just woundering how to control a unit using the directrional buttons. I have read some tutorials on other sites but they made NO sence at all. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How controlled? FPS style or birds-perspective?

HappyTauren should be able to help you since he has created loads of these systems

HappyTauren: I cant get the demo to work. I keep getting an error

Mechanical Man: It would be nice if the camera view and controls were like the Azertoh Grand Prix.

If you look at the triggers in that map you should see something along the lines of:

Turn LEFT
Event: when Left is pressed
Action: Set Left=true

Stop LEFT
Event: when Left is released
Action: Set Left=false

Actual Movement
Event: Every .1 seconds
Condition: If Left=True and Right=False
Action: if(forward=false) Make UNIT face (Current rotation +5)
else Move Unit (Current rotation, 100 distance)

There you go a simple way to turn a unit. Do the same thing for right. Do the same for moving forward and backward, making sure to check that left and right are not being pressed. It's really rather simple you just have to think it as a step by step process.

AND if I may say, this doesn't belong in the request section, put it in the trigger section.

I think HappyTauren is using WEU
