Vehicle Throttle/Autowalk

[finaljihad]

So in my RPG, the primary mode of long distance travel is via jet aircraft.

Some of these flights (purchased ticket) are scripted.

Some of the flights (hijacked) are under player control.

I need a system or simple eventing fix that will cause two effects to the vehicle in question:

1) Vehicle needs to move forward under its own power.

2) It needs to be steerable with the arrow keys while moving forward.

It's a jet airplane so if I stop pushing forward it shouldn't just stop.

I have tried creating an event on map which runs parallel and just causes the plane object (reskinned player) to take one step forward repeatedly at the slowest speed. This obviously blocks input from the arrow keys which should allow me to steer. Is there a simple script/event handler that I can add which will cause the arrow keys to momentarily override the 'forward' command? Variables increased or switches activated on button press?

I attached an image of what the flight system looks like right now. Give me some idea of how to code this please!

Thank you!

Hey so when the "ship" is going by itself (the purchased flight) just use a set move route to where you want it to go.

For 2 you could try a common parallel event that you switch on whenever the player is actually controlling the ship.

Something like this (evented)

Contitional Branch ( if switch"pressed" == "off"){ key input processing(up,down,left,right; save in var"flewInDirection") Conditional Branch ( if var"flewInDirection" !=(is not) "0") <--- Edit: forgot this ConBranch { controll switch"pressed" = "on" }}else{ key input processing(up,down,left,right; save in var"stillPressing") Conditional Branch ( if var"stillPressing" == "0") { Conditional Branch (if var"flewInDirection" == "1") { set move route "up" controll switch"pressed" = "off" } else { Conditional Branch (if var"flewInDirection" == "2") { set move route "right" controll switch"pressed" = "off" } else { Conditional Branch (if var"flewInDirection" == "3") { set move route "left" controll switch"pressed" = "off" } else { Conditional Branch (if var"flewInDirection" == "4") { set move route "down" controll switch"pressed" = "off" } } } } }}The directions might be of as I don't have Xp installed ^^

it basicaly checks where you're going and let's you move one additional tile in that direction as soon as you stop pressing something^^
