Hiii! Any help would be appreciated to this problem. I'm trying to make a unit move by using WASD. Problem is I can't figure out how this is done. I even looked at other maps that do this but when I apply it; it never works.

This picture should explain what I'm doing:


The only problem I can see is the W not being assigned to a unit. I don't see any type of trigger that would let me do that. I'm probably doing this horribly wrong !

The event is right, however, actions are failing, here is how I have done it:
Event: Player X presses KEY whatsoever...
condition: whatever you want
actions:
move point 1 on UNIT
move point 1 on X (+1) Y (+1)
Issue move targetting point 1
wait 0.5 game sec
repeat trigger

Basically, this is how it done. Adding a wait will avoid heavy lag. (Do not use the wasd system in multiplayer anyways: it often causes lag)
the point 1 on X (+WHATEVER) Y (+WHATEVER) is easy to understand: a coordiante around the unit, where 0x 0y is the center of the unit, so for "W" (->Up) use Point(+0) (+1)

There is a way to make it detect the key even when its pushed, so you don't have to keep telling it to repeat the trigger
Action: Press W / EX / EX / EX/ Unless you want shift included

This is where you make sure it keeps going "until you release the key"
Conditions: (( Current trigger is on ) = = True ( You go to the action: Trigger is on )
Unit order to your region. ( You can set regions to attach to units X 1.0, -1.0, Y 1.0, -1.0 ) That will be up down left and right.

Then to stop:
Event: presses w "up"
Trigger- Stop all instances of ( Walking trigger )

( I am currently working on my rpg, this has a system where "W" Just goes in the direction of your camera, If you want to do something like that check my map out, or ask me.

I don't see a trigger like this anywhere. There is Issue Order, but It doesn't let me pick the action Move or to a Point. D:

I get lost here. I don't see a selectable condition or action like this.

I'm so clueless >_<! Thanks for replying!

Change the type of order under issue order to targeting point. Default is orders that instantly act, like stop.

I can't change the type. The dropdown box is grayed out. Unless I misunderstood you:



EDIT: Nvm, I finally understood what you said. I got it working. Thanks for the help everyone ^_^!
