arrow keys

[BaDong_Guy]

I am making a game where you will need the arrow keys to move a unit around. But I'm not sure how to do the action part of the trigger. Anyone know how?

Yes the action part is quite difficult.

An easy way would be for example:
When you press the up key, that the game orders the unit to move an X amount north (assuming you got the camera fixed on north (90 degrees)).

that trigger action would be:

That will make the unit move a small amount north:

Unit - Order <unit> to Move to ((Position of <unit>) offset by (90.00 , 0.00))

This will move the unit south:

Unit - Order <unit> to Move to ((Position of <unit>) offset by (-90.00 , 0.00))

This will move the unit east:

Unit - Order <unit> to Move to ((Position of <unit>) offset by (0.00 , 90.00))

This will move the unit west:

Unit - Order <unit> to Move to ((Position of <unit>) offset by (0.00 , -90.00))

To make him move further make the 90 a larger number.
Disadvantage of this system is that you have to press the up button again and again.
