I made my character move pretty good, but I can only use one setup

Y'know Upkey = Forwards
Downkey = Backwards
Rightkey = Moves Right
Leftkey = Left!

But I want the wasd setup, and I dont know how to do it, I mean... I cant just replace the Upkey with... Wkey.

I'd really like it if somebody could help me with this.

Use the Inkey$() command.
If Inkey$() = "w" then ...
If Inkey$() = "s" then ...
...
Go to the comand help and click on input. Go down untill you find Inkey$() and it will tell you the syntax.

Keystate is a lot better. If you try to hit two keys at once with scancode() it will only register the lowest numbered key.

Never use inkey$() either because inkey$ is a variable and can therefore only take in one value at a time making it so you cant move diagnolly.

Very true. I use Scancode() for like the fire key, but usually with the cursor keys for movement. In such cases, ScanCode() will work at the same time as the arrow keys.

Missed the bit about wanting WASD for control - in which case ScanCode() wouldn't be suitable.
