Strafe Only???

[Architex]

Hello all, I dont have much time, so I'm going to try and post this quickly.  First off, bit of a disclaimer here, I dont know jack about scripting...Eh a little bit here and there.  I'm trying to use the default character to not move forward and backward, only left to right ( I really really thought I could do this myself, just take out the action mapping keys in the config file, but boy was I wrong...I think anyways. )  I'm trying to make a simply arcade shooter ( we used to have a template for that, but it looks like it was taken out ).  Any thoughts?

Alright, now I need to get the player to shoot up.  I got the strafing down, after hours and hours of tinkering.  The player only shoots in front of him.

Dang it, this seems sooo easy to fix yet I cant figure it out.  I feel like a dumbass.

What happens when you remove the forward and back keymappings?

In character.gsl you have this section:

if (event == "Input")
   {
      if (params.stringValue == "Forward")
      {
         forwardPressed = params.floatValue;
         return true;
      }
      if (params.stringValue == "Backward")
      {
         backwardPressed = params.floatValue;
         return true;
      }
      if (params.stringValue == "Left")
      {
         leftPressed = params.floatValue;
         return true;
      }
      if (params.stringValue == "Right")
      {
         rightPressed = params.floatValue;
         return true;
      }
      if (params.stringValue == "Run")
      {
         runPressed = params.floatValue;
         return true;
      }
      if (params.stringValue == "Jump")
      {
         if (params.floatValue >= 0.5f && lastJumpPressed < 0.5f)
            jumpPressed = true;
         lastJumpPressed = params.floatValue;
         return true;
      }
      if (params.stringValue == "MouseRelativeX")
      {
         lookLeftRight += params.floatValue;
         return true;
      }
      if (params.stringValue == "MouseRelativeY")
      {
         lookUpDown -= params.floatValue;
         if (lookUpDown < -1.5)
            lookUpDown = -1.5;
         if (lookUpDown > 1.5)
            lookUpDown = 1.5;
         return true;
      }

Just comment out the forward and backward and you should be good to go

Wow that saved me a headache, thank you so much pixel.  Now I just have to figure out how to make the character shoot directly up.  Hopefully I can figure that out.

I'm assuming there's something I have to change in weapon_handheld.gsl....

the max look up and max look down are in the controller settings for your character.
