Moving Unit with Keys

[Whisperwind Archer]

Well, i'm trying to make a Gryphon Rider that you control with keys. the camera is always fixed on it. He turn to both sides with keys, but i can't put it moving front. for front i made this triggers:

1st trigger (forward): Events - player 1 (Red) Presses the Up Arrow Key

Conditions: Forward(variable) Equal to False

Actions: Set Forward = True

2nd trigger (Forwardmove):

Events - Every 0.01 seconds of game time

Conditions - Forward Equal to True

Actions - Here's the problem i don't know wich kind of action to use. I have anoter trigger that sets the variable forwardmove, the move speed of the gryphon. In the other cases i made an action saying to make unit face the unit's actual facing+ the variable value over 0.00 seconds. Of course for moving it must be a little different

Can anyone plz give me a clue of how to do this?

Order Unit targeting a Point

 

[Whisperwind Archer]

but what point. I mean, you should have been more specific. I already tried move to a point with an offset and without offset.

 

[Eggie Poo Poo]

Or move unit 50 offset of facing of (unit you want to move) then play his Walk animation. That's more complicated but it can increase the speed and can sometimes have a better effect.

I think you shoud use Point with Polar Offset:

(Position of (Gryphon)) offset by 128 towards (Facing of (Gryphon))

(Increase 128 a bit as Gryphon's speed is increased)

This will get a point with 128 distance from the Gryphon's position, with an angle of its facing.

I'm starting to think i'm stupid, but the best with a polar offset was instant move to the center of the map, but the trigger is exactly this:

Unit - Move Gryphon Rider 0000 <gen> instantly to ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 128.00 towards (Facing of Gryphon Rider 0000 <gen>) degrees)

I think this should work, it isn't prob of the other triggers... They only say to put the variable true for making the trigger work.

i'm realy stupid, sorry for all the mess. It's finally working. Where it was triggering unit i changed to gryphon rider 0000 and it worked. Thnks a lot for the help guys!
