it is the changing the Camera view that I have problems with, It is because it remaps the key's everytime the camera view changes is there any way to turn this off? please help me.

That's what happens when modify client.dir. You want to modify client.mob.dir.

Note that you rotating icons simply by adding 2 won't cut it, either. These are the directions from north, going clockwise.

NORTH     = 1
NORTHEAST = 5
EAST      = 4
SOUTHEAST = 6
SOUTH     = 2
SOUTHWEST = 10
WEST      = 8
NORTHWEST = 9

You'd be better off using something akin to the following:

src.mob.dir = turn(src.mob.dir,45) //turn mob counterclockwise 45 degrees

src.mob.dir = turn(src.mob.dir,-45) //turn mob clockwise 45 degrees


The clockwise/counterclockwise might be backwards, though, since I haven't used turn() in a while and it's a little underdocumented anyway.

client.eye look it up.

nooooooo... PLEASE LISTEN TO ME SOMEONE!!!!!

Ok I just want the camera to stay BEHIND MY CHARACTER! I am using dir var (client) and it is working fine.

Exept it REMAPS MY KEYS EVERYTIME IT CHANGES THE VIEW!
EXP. NORTH() normaly returns my NORTH code but it remaps the directional keys differenty when it changes the dir var (client)

HOW CAN I STOP THAT?

look up lazy_eye

I think YOU don't understand what WE'RE trying to say. Look up lazy_eye

sorry, I guess I wasn't discribin it right I am just gettin pissed tryin to get this to work.

If no one understands what you're saying, why do you keep saying it the same way?

Anyways, I think I've got it figured out now... although saying "behind" is a bad way to describe an overhead view.

You're making it so that when the player turns, instead of showing the character turning, the world appears to be turning around the character, as a way of showing the character's perspective, and so you're changing client.dir to "flip the screen around." You're concerned that it's, as you put it, remapping the keys.

What it's doing is keeping it so that, in the default movement system, if you press the "up" key, your character will move "up", relative to the screen, regardless of whether "up" (client.dir) is NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, or WEST.

You have overwritten the default movement system... what you need to do is overwrite it further. I recommend making new procs, and calling them client.Up(), client.Down(), client.Left(), and client.Right() Take your movement code and move it to these procs.

Now overwrite client.Move(loc,dir) with the following code:

switch (dir)
if (client.dir)
client.Up() //The up key == client.dir
if (turn(client.dir,90))
client.Left() //client.dir + 90 degrees == left key
if (turn(client.dir,-90))
client.Right() //client.dir - 90 degrees == right key
if (turn(client.dir,-180))
client.Down() //client.dir flipped around == down key


Note that I'm notoriously bad with east/west and left/right, so you might want to double-check those.

THANKS!... It gave me a idea that was really close to what you told me, I made macro's for North() West() ect..., And made them refer to verbs. Now it works fine.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! THANKS!
