I need help working out a point and click online engine.
I need to save bandwidth so I figured I could try and create something like Atulos Online uses...
I have a problem... I can't get the character walking in the right direction. Examples would be awesome. Thanks!

Hmmmm...
I have the point and click down, but unfortunately when I try and get the other players to move, their direction is not right. I don't know how I would fix this.

when sending things like character movement, you can either compare the 2 x values (the on it is currently at, and the one it is moving to) and set the direction accordingly (for a left/right movement, obviously compare the Y positions for Up/Down if you have them facing that way)
i.e X(Old) < X(New) : Direction = Look right
X(Old) > X(New) : Direction = look left
Alternatively you can get the direction the character is facing, and send that along with any movement updates
Hmmmm...
The engine is like a co-op iso point and click adventure so you need to have a full 16 or 32 directions for movement. I do send the direction of the character being played, but sickly, he doesn't move that way he goes some place else.
It is rather sad...
