Turning

by Chris Sargent · in Torque Game Engine · 09/14/2008 (4:43 pm) · 7 replies

I've been slowly modifying the starter.fps. Today I learnt how to add sound at the start of my main gui and I learnt how to change my movement keys through the default.bind.cs.

I have looked through the file from top to bottom, but did not see what I want. I want to use my left and right arrow keys to turn my character left and right. I don't want to use the mouse for this.

How or where do I look for more information on this?


Thanks!

Place this in defaultBind.cs with the other movement binds.

moveMap.bind( keyboard, left, turnLeft );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, right, turnRight );

For more you can look for the WoW.Starter.Kit

It has rotation using the 'q' and 'e' keys.

It's actually quite simple.
up
down
right
left

for the arrow keyes, then look at the datablocks above it for what you want to use.

Search for
How to: WoW style RPG Starter kit

It uses yaw and schedule for Player rotation.

Thanks MIke, what I was missing was the turnleft / turnright part of it :)

Thanks Infinitum I'll go look now.
