Arrow key movement?

I haven't been around in a while, and I'm wondering if an arrow key movement has been designed for customed cameras? IE: I have a camera lower to the ground and directly behind the camera, when I press the left arrow key, I want the character to turn left, when I press right, I want him to turn right. And is there a way to make him walk backwards? IE: Moonwalk.

I do have Frozen Throne. Don't have any Special editors for it though. I am willing to get a better editor if necessary however.

If your curious, I plan on making a fairly large RPG/Campaign/Online RPG using this stuff. I've got a head full of ideas and I'm willing to work to see them come to life.

Just to let you know, quite a few people (including myself) tried using the arrow keys.. yet the Unit- Issue Order commands begin to have a huge delay before responding... Some people only get around a second delay, I got a minute long one.

Moonwalking would be interesting, you'd have to 'move instantly to point with polar offset
facing of unit +-180, -10 point..

and then make it a loop.

Of course, I believe loops are what caused my map to die. I had everything based on loops in movement so you can stop any time you want to and turn while moving ETC... Egh.
