Face angle while moving problem

How do I make a unit move forward and turn left or right whenever I press the left or right key? I actually already made a trigger for it but it only seems to make the unit move forward...

And yes I did try changing the order of the triggers. Still the same results.

Help will be appreciated :D

Code: 
Boat Control Right Player 1
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Right Arrow key
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Transport_Boat_Group[1] = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)) and ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Transport Boat)))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in Transport_Boat_Group[1] and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Transport_Boat_Point[1] = (Position of (Picked unit))
                Set Transport_Boat_Point[5] = (Transport_Boat_Point[1] offset by 1000.00 towards (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees)
                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To Transport_Boat_Point[5]
                Unit - Set (Picked unit) movement speed to ((Current movement speed of (Picked unit)) + 20.00)
                Unit - Make (Picked unit) face ((Facing of (Picked unit)) - 150.00) over 0.00 seconds
        Custom script:  call DestroyGroup(udg_Transport_Boat_Group[1])
        Custom script:  call RemoveLocation(udg_Transport_Boat_Point[1])
        Custom script:  call RemoveLocation(udg_Transport_Boat_Point[5])
 
Unfortunately i dont believe there is an option to detect wether a key is held, however, you can detect normal key presses with an event, im not sure if the event is available in GUI or if it is only in vJass, I would check up on it... I do know that the key press event is sort of laggy, there is some delay before the event is actually fired
 
When you are talking about that when holding the right arrow key, the boat will keep moving. Then do something like this.
Trigger:
  • First Trigger
    • Events
      • Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Right Arrow key
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Trigger - Turn on Third Trigger <gen>
      • -------- Put conditions if you want --------

Trigger:
  • Second Trigger
    • Events
      • Player - Player 1 (Red) Releases the Right Arrow key
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Trigger - Turn off Third Trigger <gen>

Trigger:
  • Third Trigger
    • Events
      • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
    • Set Transport_Boat_Group[1] = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)) and ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Transport Boat)))
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Transport_Boat_Group[1] and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set Transport_Boat_Point[1] = (Position of (Picked unit))
          • Set Transport_Boat_Point[5] = (Transport_Boat_Point[1] offset by 1000.00 towards (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees)
          • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To Transport_Boat_Point[5]
          • Unit - Set (Picked unit) movement speed to ((Current movement speed of (Picked unit)) + 20.00)
          • Unit - Make (Picked unit) face ((Facing of (Picked unit)) - 150.00) over 0.00 seconds
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Transport_Boat_Group[1])
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Transport_Boat_Point[1])
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Transport_Boat_Point[5])
      • -------- Uncheck the Initially On check box on this trigger --------

Hope this helps :D

Hmm doesnt seem to be working... All the boat does is move straight without increasing speed =))

This trigger that you are using only works until the unit reaches 400 movement speed. After that, you need to use other stuffs like Item movespeed bonus (or something like that) to increase a movement speed of a unit.
 
Well yeah I know that, but my main issue isn't increasing the movement speed because that's already covered. It's that the boat won't turn at all :/
 
Try this set of triggers. It's composed of making your boats move using Up, Right and Left arrow keys

Trigger:
  • Second Trigger Up
