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 :/

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
