Hey, I'm new here and have recently acquired a copy of Multi Media Fusion 1.5. After running through some basic tutorials and such, I'm very interested in starting up my own game. I'd really like to have a 360 degree field of movement and shooting from birds eye view. I installed the bonus pack and after lookign around, there were references to advanced direction object and taht it could be used for what I need. However, I'm not sure exactly how it works. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advanced.

Thanx for the input, but I've previously seen the article and it doesn't exactly cover what I'm tryign to do. I simply want to have a completely keyboard controlled 360 movement system. (pressing left rotates left, right right, pressing up moves forwad etc) pretty much teh exact same as teh racecar controls, but with only moving while the key is pressed down. Maybe the solution is obvious and im just missing it - again, any help would be great.

It's not too hard to get 360 race car movement, you just need these events:
• Start of Frame
(Player) : Set Value A to 0.0
(Player) : Set Value B to 0.0
(Player) : Set Value C to X( "Player" ) + 0.0
(Player) : Set Value D to Y( "Player" ) + 0.0
• Repeat while 'Left' is pressed
(Player) : Sub 5 to Value A
• Repeat while 'Right' is pressed
(Player) : Add 5 to Value A
• Repeat while 'Up' is pressed
(Player) : Add 0.1 to Value B
• Repeat while 'Down' is pressed
(Player) : Sub 0.1 to Value B
• Always
(Player) : Add Sin( Value A( "Player" ) ) * Value B( "Player" ) to Value C
(Player) : Sub Cos( Value A( "Player" ) ) * Value B( "Player" ) to Value D
(Player) : Set X Position to Value C( "Player" )
(Player) : Set Y Position to Value D( "Player" )
In your case, set Value B (speed) to 4 while Up is pressed, and set it to 0 while it's not pressed.
Awesome- that works quite nicely. Just one more question= how do i match the objects direction with its movement? I have 32 directions for the object set up in its properties and i can get it to rotatewith conventional controls. I'm just curious as to how exactly i relate the alterable values to the directional value.
Thanx again for the help.

Shab, the AMAZING and WONDERFUL Alpha Channel object can also rotate in 360 degrees, and lets you specify fractions of a degree! I also have stocks in it, HAR HAR HAR
