Those functions are repeated for all the arrow keys.

thats a pretty neat feature. However, you should have a way of turning that on and off by pressing esc or something.

Good job and + rep though.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Thanks , Ill add those features.


EDIT : Added Escape Feature

 

[PurgeandFire]

EDIT: @Lobster, yeah now I see it.

 

[Lobster]

Hm.. I don't see any attachment. :\

I do.

and much better. thanks.
(and good job again)

 

[TriggerHappy]

sry was updating attachment.

 

[PurgeandFire]

It is nice and smooth, but this part leaks. In the camera trigger:

Camera - Pan camera for (Picked player) to [B][U](Position of PlayersHero[(Player number of (Picked player))])[/U][/B] over 0.00 seconds

 

[quraji]

Nice and simple , but I have a few suggestions:
Smooth out the movement, it's very jittery.
Prevent the camera from doing funky things like going through the ground, and twitching when you first press a key.
Try to fix this issue: Sometimes it freaks out if you try to go left or right and up or down at the same time.

I haven't looked at the code.

If you want implement these suggestions I can help if need be.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Thanks , i made this in like 10 min just to see if i should add to my rpg ( im not adding... ) but i will make these updates whenever im in the mood for map making

 

[TriggerHappy]

Sorry for double posting , but i updated thread.


Can A Moderator please approve/dissaprove this.

 

[Uberplayer]

It 'can' be approved after you fix the leaks.

 

[Sui-cookie]

[TriggerHappy]

It can work for any player.

Just add the rest of the players 2 the event
