How do you move units with arrow keys

[mik19]

Can someone tell me how to make a specific locked hero. So it moves only with arrow keys.

Try the example on the first page of the Free Triggers Thread

I Looked.....I Don't see an example.

It's a downloadable map with the triggers inside. It's kinda heavy to put as an example on the web.

Yeah i found out how to move my guys but i cant seem to do it with multiple units cause it seems to long and to complicated with multiple units/players

 

[AgentPaper]

not that hard with multiples, you just have to have the repeating move always on, and have it do for each integer A, and have it do all the stuff for each player. if you want to see an example, look at the one i did for aviator wars, its in the members projects forum, it should give youthe basic idea.

Not really, all it is, is just Pick every unit Selected by triggering player and do (move...)

MeRcChRiS all it is, is this:

Initialize Right
Event: Player 1 Red presses the right key
Conds: None
Acts: set moveright = true (boolean variable)
If movingplayer[1] = false then do *
[indent]Set movingplayer[1] = triggering player (player var)[/indent]
Else: Set movingplayer[2] = triggering player [(this will have to be done the amount of times = to the number of players in your game)]
--------------------------------------------
Initialize Up
Event: Player 1 Red presses the up key
Conds: None
Acts: If movingplayer[1] = false then do *
[indent]Set movingplayer[1] = triggering player (player var)[/indent]
Else: Set movingplayer[2] = triggering player [(this will have to be done the amount of times = to the number of players in your game)]
set moveup = true (boolean variable)
--------------------------------------------
Move Up
Events: Every .5 seconds of the game
Conds: Moveup = true
Actions: Pick every unit selected by movingplayer[1] and do *
[indent]Issue picked unit to move to point of picked unit + 0, 100 (point with offset)[/indent]
--------------------------------------------
Move Right
Events: Every .5 seconds of the game
Conds: Moveright = true
Actions: Pick every unit selected by movingplayer[1] and do *
[indent]Issue picked unit to move to point of picked unit + 100, 0 (point with offset)[/indent]
--------------------------------------------
Move Upright
Events: Every .5 seconds of the game
Conds: Moveup = true
Moveright = true
Actions: Pick every unit selected by movingplayer[1] and do *
[indent]Issue picked unit to move to point of picked unit + 100, 100 (point with offset)[/indent]
--------------------------------------------
Releases Up
Events: Player 1 Red releases up key
Conds: none
Acts: Set movingplayer[1] = no player
set moveup = false
--------------------------------------------
Releases right
Events: Player 1 Red releases up key
Conds: none
Acts: Set movingplayer[1] = no player
set moveright = false

Of course this is for single player mode, you will have to edit it to your liking, and for multiplayer mode.

thats overly complicated, but you're on the right track:

Left Pressed
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) Presses the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 3 (Teal) Presses the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 4 (Purple) Presses the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 5 (Yellow) Presses the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 6 (Orange) Presses the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 7 (Green) Presses the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 8 (Pink) Presses the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 9 (Gray) Presses the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) Presses the Left Arrow key
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set TurningLeft[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = True

Left Released
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) Releases the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) Releases the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 3 (Teal) Releases the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 4 (Purple) Releases the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 5 (Yellow) Releases the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 6 (Orange) Releases the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 7 (Green) Releases the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 8 (Pink) Releases the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 9 (Gray) Releases the Left Arrow key
        Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) Releases the Left Arrow key
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set TurningLeft[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = False

Do this for right, down, and up too, and make sure the boolean variables are arrays of size (number of players you can have). then have a trigger that runs every .25 seconds or so (not much less, or it will lag) that moves the units according to which booleans are true.
