Pac Man ( need help with movement )

[remix]

I am working on a game Pac Man and i do not know how to do the triggers for movement like the right arrow key, left arrow key, etc....

and can you please find me triggers with that

thank you

 

[Jackal]

Events
Player 1 presses the Up Arrow Key
Actions
Move (pac man/ghost) to position of (pac man/ghost) offset by 100, 0.

Think of the polar offsets like this
..............................Y
..........................100,0
..........................50,0
0,-100.....0,-50......0,0......0,50......0,100..................X
..........................-50,0
..........................-100,0

Jackal i tried that movement thing with the offset 100,0 but that does not work and the other one that i downloaded it has degrees so it wont work very nice....

what im thinking of is useing a slide

the arrow keys will set a booline to be true, the pacmans will slide nomatter what, the boolines are for when they hit an intercection, where then if the booline was true when they hit it, the pacman will change to that direction, if you want i can make a dummy map for that

It doesn't work nice, because it rotates the unit, it doesnt turn them in a straight angle. (e.g.; 90, 360, 270, 180 angles)

Arrow Key Movement System.

It's prolly not exactly what you need and want, but its code can surely help you along with your issue.

okay, it's pretty simple.
you make a trigger that runs every 0.0X seconds and moves your pacman X into the direction of its facing.
Then just make another trigger to set the facing of the packman.
when presses arrow key up then set facing to up
when presses arrow key down then set facing to down

it's an action called:
set unit angle
or something. You know your pacman can go into 4 directions. In degrees they are 0, 90, 180 and 270. Im not sure what exact. Im not sure what number is equals to what angle but i think 0 is down, 90 right, 180 up, 270 left.

lol search key board movement sys
on the site were on

That movement system is killer big...

Just do something like this...

Move PacFace
    Events
        Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Move PacMan instantly to ((Position of (PacMan)) offset by 3.00 towards (Facing of (PacMan)) degrees), facing (Facing of (PacMan)) degrees

Change PacFace Direction
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Left Arrow key
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Make (PacMan) face 270.00 over 0.00 seconds

And you'll need to make a trigger for each keyboard key pressed.
