Hello,

Right now, the arrow keys are used to control a player in every game. How can I change this? I would like to use W,A,S,D as the keys instead up up,left,down,right.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Doriel

if you use:

dist.x=(runspeed*key_cuu)+(runspeed_backwards*key_cud); //key_... are the arrows

you have to write then:

dist.x=(runspeed*key_w)+(-runspeed_backwards*key_s);

if you use:

on_key_cuu=move_frontwards;
FUNCTION move_frontwards
{dist.x=runspeed;}

you have to write then:

on_key_w=move_frontwards;
FUNCTION move_frontwards
{dist.x=runspeed;}

I hope you know how I mean this...

Sure, I kind of understand. The only problem is, I can't find that code anywhere. I am using the move.wdl script file. After looking at it, it appears that the code you are describing should be found in a function called _player_intentions(). However, I can't find the function definition anywhere.

Does anyone know what file this function is defined in? Or if it's even the function that I need to change?

Hi,

the function is located in input.wdl.

These are the lines within the function you need to modify:
force.X = strength.X*(KEY_FORCE.Y+JOY_FORCE.Y); // forward/back
force.Y = strength.Y*(KEY_COMMA-KEY_PERIOD); // side to side

You can just replace them with something like that:
force.X = strength.X*(key_w-key_s);
force.Y = strength.Y*(key_a-key_d);
