Top-Down Shooter Motion
I started to work on a top down shooter where the player moves the mouse to aim in that direction. I wanted to have the player move up, down, left, and right an the when the WASD/ arrow keys are used, but it will only move in it's own x and y axis, so when you rotate the player half a rotation, D moves it left and A move it right. i can't figure out how to modify the current script i have (FPSWalkerEnhanced: http://unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=FPSWalkerEnhanced) to do this. Please help.
I presume you mean you want your player to move left or right relative to its current facing direction?
no i want it to move relative to world position, so when you hit up, the player moves up and likewise for the other directions
Sounds like you want the player to face where the mouse cursor is, while the movement is directly relative to world, rather than players rotation.. if so, I think just maybe eliminating this line (to keep the world coordinate system) just might do it:
moveDirection = myTransform.TransformDirection(moveDirection) * speed;
maybe... It pops up a couple of times, just delete them all, I think
edit: of course, if you want to keep the speed intact you should replace the line above with:
moveDirection = moveDirection * speed;
careless of me...
when you get rid of the TransformDirection() function the object doesn't move anymore. (it still rotates, but thats irrelevant) i need a function that moves the object and doesn't use something like myTransform.TransformDirection(moveDirection) or at least find a way to make a TransformDirection relative to world space
I have a project that I am working on that is a top down game as well so i know the confusion at first. I would recommend this link to a very good walk through of what a 2d top down shooter really is.
