making units move through keyboard

[XXXconanXXX]

Ok I want to know how to make all a players units move to a certain direction depending on what arow key the player hits. How can I do this? I want it where if they press the arrow key once they move a little bit and when they hold it it makes them keep going until the player lets go of the arrow.

Well this would be some version of it..
I made terrain tiny because I don't know how to move in exact way (up, down, left, right)..
Here's one the version of it...

Here Conan I think this is a little bit closer to what you are looking for.

This is just one unit moving and I'm not quite sure how to make a bunch of them move decently.
You may be able to do someting with grouping so you'd only be able to have 12 units at a time.

As for having them move only a little bit, I have it currently set to move 1000 units at a time, I think if you modify it to go any smaller than that you'll end up with the animation reseting to often and it'll look like the guy is having some bad lag.

You can also make them go on diagonals but that takes even more triggers which you'll have to figure out yourself, becasue i'm not doing that again.

OMG Sluggo you are the greatest! I appreciate both of your time, but Sluggo you gave me EXACTLY what I needed. All I have to do is set it to move all a players units.
