Trigger Help Please

I used Ant's tutorial for keyboard movement. I believe I followed the steps well, but it doesn't seem to work. When I press the up arrow key it moves my unit closer to the center of the map. When I press both a right or left arrow and an up arrow it doesn't turn and move. While the left and right arrow do turn the unit it turns it for a short amount and then stops turning it. When the unit finally does reach the center of the map the up arrow stops doing anything. Any ideas on what's going on? I could post screen shots of my triggers if asked to.

Right click on your trigger, choose copy as text and paste the triggers in [trigger] tags.

K this good?

If you didnt want it to move to center of playable map area, why does it say Move to Center of playable map area.

You want this:

And doing +15 degrees whill make it move to an angle of whee its facing.
Hope that solves your problem.

k thanks... srry for the stupid question i should have paid more attention to my triggers

No problem, i do it all the time :O

Sorry to bumb a dead thread, but since I have a question about the same tutorial, I see no reason to create a new one :P
Anyway, I've solved the problem with the laggy movement when you use low values to make it smooth, by adding a "play animation" action to the Press forward key. Unfortunaly, it seems that it just works the first time you walk forward, next time it goes back to the lag-style. Maybe I need to remove the normal animations in some way? I've tried, but without succes. This is the triggers:


and the release one:

Help? :P
EDIT: I've also tried with reset units animations instead of play stand animation, but it doesnt seem to work either way.

I think you have to queue the animation.

I prefer SetUnitAnimationById , it is much easier to predict its behaviour than the normal animation function
