Actually:

should read:

so that you are forcing the input into lower case and comparing to an already lower case character.

this method is fine, but when you press multiple keys, only one is recorded. so i suggest you use this:



the keystate command returns the state of the key (0 = not pressed, 1 = pressed) given. if you press ctrl+k in the default IDE you get a screen that returns the number of the keys pressed so you don't have to search for it. but for now the inkey method is fine.

if you wanna load an image, you use the command Load Image
the load bitmap command is for something else. about the camera movement, you can use this code for maving with the w and s keys:



this code moves the camera 5 points forward or backward. if the w key is pressed but the s key isn't, it does 1-0*5 and that's 5, so it moves 5 points forward. if the s key is pressed and the w key isn't, it does 0-1*5, which is -5, so it moves 5 points backward. and for the mouse rotation:



you can play a little bit with the values, and maybe use curvevalue. what it does, it rotates the camera on its x an y axis. on its x axis, it rotates the camera it original angle + the distance the mouse moved on the y axis divided by 2. it does the same for the x axis, but then with the distance the mouse moved on its x axis.

In theory you could make a game like CoD but it'd take you and 50 of your buddies a good few years to do.

As for the OS, I'm afraid not. DBP requires you to be running DirectX 9.0c, and DirectX needs Windows.

Keep in mind that Move Camera Left/Right are commands from IanM's Matrix1 Utilities plugin, which can be found in DLL Talk by searching Matrix1 on these forums...

Ya, IanM's plugin commands are so essential that I often forget that they're from a plugin rather than part of the command set.

@darshan

You should read some tutorials before you start trying to make anything, especially something like CoD. Just taking bits and pieces of code we post isn't going to get you there. Check out the Tutorials Thread at the top of this board.

Thanks for the template Grog Grueslayer. I was just having trouble with that yesterday. That template will come in real handy.

MrBill

P.S. thanks Sixty Squares for the advice
