While i figure out (i still didn't) how to control my character's animation loops through keyboard, i'm thinking i'd like to focus more on a point-and-click kind of action.

Given an ideal 3D plane and an object (or character), how do i go about having the object point and move at a certain speed towards a clicked XZ coordinate?

I did some reading and there is something about the pick command, but still i have no clue how to use that... did anyone do that successfully?

Hi I believe vectors will do the trick, try searching the forum for a way to convert 2D to 3D coordinates, I believe that Miguel Melo post something about it.

yep youll need vector maths for this.
search the forums, youll find tutorials. even if the code is in dbp youll be able to convert it to whichever flavor of the dgdk youre using

Did you ever get this working? Mouse click - turn 2d coords to 3d (perhaps you used vectors as suggested...)???
