Check for W or S being pressed

[tommybricksetti]

I am not sure this is possible. I would like someone to clarify, and maybe give some alternatives.

client sided or server sided?
for client sided I think you could parent moveforward and movebackward

Since he wants to check it, you would just use $mvForwardAction and $mvBackwardAction.

Oh my god, thank you!

[tommybricksetti]

wait that is clientside right? How do I do it server side? or can i?

The only thing you can try to do is check velocity. There is no callback or way to check that they're holding W/S.

Don't quote me on this, but just throwing out this idea. What if he used Euler to axis, and velocity as well.

[Plornt]

Angles have nothing to do with movement, so yeah your best bet would be to check velocity

[Honorabl3]

I see.

[tommybricksetti]

guess im making in a singleplayer only mod for now :P

What I'm making is the first 30 seconds of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvMHNHOeUs0

No wait. What if he were to get the eye point, and get the location at a certain distance in front of the player. And if the player walks toward that direction, then wouldn't that work?

I highly doubt you can make this nicely in blockland.
Also you can't just check the velocity.
Holding W does not mean I am actually moving forward

Then what do you suggest? At least it will detect that you are holding W if you ARE moving. So that solution is better than nothing.

[Honorabl3]

Why doesn't he just make it so the player needs to join a client-sided mod to play, which will send the information to the server of him holding W.
