Controlling my controller

[fumanshoo]

so I've been working on a first person controller, and I fixed a few things, but I'm stuck with one last problem if you guys would be so kind to help out.The problem is that the controller goes backwards, forwards, left right like it should, but when I turn the controller, I realize that the "WASD" keys are moving the controller according to the world, rather than the controller. So if I look diagonally, It still goes backwards or forwards according to the world... here's the script

 

 

 

require("Scripts/constants/engine_const")

 

COLLISION_CHARACTER=1

 

RegisterAbstractPath("")

 

Graphics(800,600)

 

fw = CreateFramework()

 

camera = fw.main.camera

camera:SetPosition(Vec3(3,2,-10))

 

light = CreateDirectionalLight()

light:SetRotation(Vec3(45,45,0))

 

scene = LoadScene("abstract::animation_test_lab.sbx")

scene:SetCollisionType(1)

scene:SetRotation(Vec3(0,90,0))

 

controller = CreateController(1.8,0.3,0.5 , 45)

controller:SetMass(5)

controller:SetCollisionType(COLLISION_CHARACTER)

controller:SetPosition(camera)

controller:Move(Vec3(0,1,0))

 

DebugPhysics(0)

 

MoveMouse(GraphicsWidth()/2,GraphicsHeight()/2)

camRotation = Vec3(0)

dx = 0.0

dy = 0.0

 

strafe = 0

move = 0

 

while KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)==0 do

 

mx=Curve(MouseX()- GraphicsWidth()/2,3.0/AppSpeed())

my=Curve(MouseY()- GraphicsHeight()/2,3.0/AppSpeed())

MoveMouse(GraphicsWidth()/2,GraphicsHeight()/2)

camRotation.x = camRotation.x + my / 8

camRotation.y = camRotation.y - mx / 8

camera:SetRotation(Vec3(camRotation.x,camRotation.y,1))

 

move = Curve( (KeyDown(KEY_W)-KeyDown(KEY_S)) * 5, move , 3 )

strafe = Curve( (KeyDown(KEY_D)-KeyDown(KEY_A)) * 5, strafe , 3 )

 

controller:Update(0, move, strafe, jump, 25 , 10)

 

fw:Update()

 

camera:SetPosition(Vec3( controller.position.x, controller.position.y, controller.position.z ))

 

fw:Render()

 

Flip(0)

end

you need the Y angle value of the camera in the angle parameter of the Update controller command.

 

controller:Update(camRotation.y, move, strafe, jump, 250 , 1, 0)

Also you might want to increase the maxacceleration parameter from 25 to something significantly higher, unless you want a sliding effect.

 

Also the camera position has to be offset from the controller, otherwise the camera is placed at the ground level.

camera:SetPosition(Vec3( controller.position.x, controller.position.y+1.8, controller.position.z ))

 

and this line does nothing:

controller:SetPosition(camera)

wow, thank you so much you have no Idea how helpful this is. And as for the controller:SetPosition(camera), I don't really know how that got there... I was working on two projects at once late at night, so maybe something happened there...
