Hi everybody,

I'm new to FPSC so I'm not sure I'm on the right board to ask this, but here's my problem : for my project I don't want the player to strafe but to turn on himself (without the mouse). I wan't to change the S and P key from strafing to rotating.

I've found this post which tells me it should be possible but with no hint on where to look on the scripts :

Can somebody point me to the right direction please ? Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the quick answer but I can't manage to make it work. In fact In fact I can't manage to grad any keyboard entry with a script, event something like

+ Code Snippet

:keypressed=30 1:quitgame

I'm afraid I'm missing something here. If I create a simple .fpi file and put it in my scriptbank folder, would it be automaticaly be used on the game or should I indicate somewhere that it should be use ?

I slowly begin to understand a bit more about scripting but I'm still stuck. The trouble is that all the doc or tutorials I've found about scripting start with an existing script. Ok it's easier to understand but it doesn't help me to understand how I include a new one to my game...

Anyway I've tried to modify the setuplevel.fpi file. If I had this :

+ Code Snippet

; Main Game
:state=1,escapekeypressed=1:pausegame,state=2
:state=1,scancodekeypressed=197:pausegame,state=11
:state=1,scancodekeypressed=64:hudshow=savingprompt,quicksavegame,pausegame,state=21
:state=1,scancodekeypressed=67:quickloadgame,state=31

:state=1,scancodekeypressed=30:quitgame

it works and when I press "A" the game quit. But none of the PLRROTATE... or PLRMOVE... works. I suppose that's because I should be using these instructions on the script related to the player, but which one is it ?

Ok my bad, once I've understood enough about scripting, it's working. I've just change the plrrotatey to addvar=$CAY 1 and it turn smoothly. Thanks.
