[Trigger] Keyboard Movement

[GodsHand]

I have started working on a keyboard movement system and I ran into a little problem. I have the turning set but I cant get the unit to move foreword. What is the tirgger action that moves a UNIT 'x' amount of distance in the direction the UNIT is facing? Thanks for your help.

Note:this is in 3rd person

it is called Polar Projection. It takes location of unit, distance, and radius (in degreedians). You should try searching for tutorials for using polar projection, or simply see how it was used in my system

Remember, arrow keys in multiplayer maps suffer from extreme lag. You might want to use IKJL keys mapped to some dummy abilities, because abilities' hotkeys reaction time is way faster (almost instant)

WASD is far superior to IJKL.

Are you sure? "A" is for attack, "S" is for stop.

+ you cant detect when unit relases buttons -.- why do you think no1 never did it be4?

 

[Pyritie]

Oh. Oops.

 

[Just_Spectating]

couldnt you use the Player - Keyboard Event Event? and the actions Unit -issue order move?

 

[Pyritie]

-_-

That's not what it question was. Learn2Read.

He asked how to make it move in the direction it was facing, not how to do a keyboard system.

 

[Just_Spectating]

so what. like u press a button and the unit moves forward till u let go?

 

[Pyritie]

His problem was making it move in a certain direction.

  • Turn on "Walking"

• Walking
• Event
  • Time - Every 0.20 seconds of Game-Time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Order (whatever hero/unit player has in var form) to Move To ((Position of (" ")) offset by 250 towards (Facing of (" ")) degrees)

• Stopping
• Event
  • Player 1(Red) Releases the Up Arrow key
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Trigger - Turn off Walking

There are far more easier ways to create such systems. Look at HappyTauren's system for an example.
