Author Topic: Improved Side-Scrolling/Top Down Playertype (Look inside for details)  (Read 392 times)

I remember Filipe's Jumpman Playertype and how it could be combined with a camera add-on or something as to change the view to something a bit more like Super Mario 3D Land/World LINK. But what always bothered me was that you needed the mouse to turn your player to where they wanted to go. What I'm trying to ask for is a way to remove the need of a mouse and rely on the keys to play this style of gameplay. It could perhaps be some modified playertypes or some sort of system to force this onto the server.

What I had in mind: Pressing W would force your player to look north and therefore move straight north, pressing D would make them look east and therefore move straight east, A for West, and S for South. And obviously combing keys would make your player go diagonal.

This could also come in handy for some top-down gamemodes, like Legend of Zelda (NES). I just hope this is doable.

BUMP, I could try to elaborate if some of you don't understand.
