Title: [Resolved] Direction Buttons (BABS)
Post by: Boba Fett Link on March 24, 2012, 08:42:55 am
Okay, essentially I'm trying to make it so that the arrow keys change which direction you are facing, kind of like the second control stick in a FPS. Basically, it will allow the character to face one direction and walk in another. Here's what I have so far:

However, with this setup it won't let move when the arrow key is pressed, because the Set Move route command keeps the player from moving when it is running.

So my question is, is there a way to keep the player facing a specific direction and allow them to walk? Maybe with a script call?

EDIT:  :facepalm: Never mind, I figured it out.

I would love it much if you could share the working formula

I think what you were aiming for is strafing. This is as simple as it gets. With this, you just hold shift to lock directions.

That was kind of it...My idea was a little more complex. I had the four arrow keys so you could quickly press them to face that direction quickly and lock that direction. I'll post what I did when I have time.
