Code:
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

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)

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.

That movement system is killer big...

Just do something like this...

Code:
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

Code:
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.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
