I am using the code from the fps tutorial. the code has 2 errors in two lines next to each other. You probably see the error when trying to compile. Look at thos 2 lines carefully as they are both missing a < symbol (or > symbol) I forget which. you can either fix em or like I did, remove em

WASD movement control A D for side step. How do you do that?
W D for forward/back is easy, but the side step is a pain.

I cant remember exactly at the moment but it involves the

newxvalue() and newzvalue() commands

you have to enter the current x/z position the desired y angle and how far you want to go

unfortunately i cant remember how to do it :/ but u need to use both of them in order to go one direction

[edit] i think to go left the angle is -90 and right is +90 and a wrapvalue in there too

Position an object in the same position and with the same orientation as the camera, then use

MOVE OBJECT LEFT and
MOVE OBJECT RIGHT

on the object and then update the camera's position from the new position of the object.
