Mouse look and attack (request)

[hammer]

hi, any one knows how make the sprites look at mouse direction ever and change the attack to right click (like diablo games) sorry but am really bad at coding

[Sealbreaker]

Yeah, that would totally feel like diablo in a tile-based environment. Not.

Also there is no 360° movement in any eclipse engine I know.

Wouldn't be too hard to change it to UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT when the mouse is on any side. Movement is a bit trickier if you want it the fancy pathfinding way though.

what joyce say… i think wasd movement but face at mouse and atack on right click but dont atk if you are clickin at options invt...etc...

sorry mi english. not native

[Slasheree]

for facing right for example, you'd put something in the gameLoop():

If Player(Myindex).Dir <> DIR_RIGHT And ConvertMapX(MouseX) > Player(Myindex).x Then SetPlayerDir(DIR_RIGHT)

Dunno if the code is completly right, and I don't remember if the SetPlayerDir function even exists… it's just an example of how i'd do it...

can work. and for a shooter morpg can be good. (more with 8 dirs) ;)
