Walk not just with arrows, also with WASD

So its a long time ago I made the walking events for my main character. Its just:

When left arrow pressed:

• Player set mirrored
• Set animation "Walk" (play from beginning)

Thats works fine. But I think it would be nice to also make the WASD movement.

Is there a easy way to combine it with my first "arrows" movement or how can I do it?

I already tried an extra event like this:

When W pressed:

• Player set mirrored
• Set animation "Walk" (play from beginning)

But here he just goes into the right animation but he doesnt walk...

Best way would be something like this: When left arrow OR w pressed: ....

Thanks guys!

add another condition where if you press a,s,d,w the player will move just the same as the arrows

now you should have 2 conditions to meet if the player presses (left arrow & A key) moves left

on the event right click to the very left of the 2 conditions and make the condition an OR condition making it (left arrow OR A key) move left

something like this shouldn't add a lot to the events

Okey thats sounds nice but I have the problem that my charakter walks correct with the arrows (maybe thats default)

but with the "A" he just sets the animation and stuff, but he doesnt move.

• Player set mirrored
• Set animation "Walk" (play from beginning)

Thats my event for the arrows and it works. Is there another action that I need for the WASD buttons?

I think I know what is missing

add an action like e.g.

obj_player simulate pressing left

Yeah something like that but its not working :/

Now I have it made exactly like this: On "A" pressed

• Player set mirrored
• Player set platform maximum speed to 400
• Player set animation to "Walk"
• Player simulate platform pressing left

But its not working... ^^

Here I thought I made it!

Now its working with the "left arrow" but not with the "A"! Why! ^^ Pls guys help me ^^

all you need to know is https://youtu.be/qfMcaCN7BaY?t=697

Here the standard keys are deactivated (plattform behaviour)

You should disable default keys too when doing this.

emoaeden like he says disable default keys in left hand PROPERTY

Okey thanks guys! One last question, ist there something like a command where you could say if there comes a user input "W", make exactly the same like if he would press "Up arrow". Somethin like a pointer on my "Up arrow" event. If he press "W", make the same event as he would press the "Up arrow" ^^ If you know what I mean

I thought this was the whole point of your question?

Do you mean "cursor Up" OR "W" - (hint: this is the answer)

Please read or watch a platformer tutorial - because this is basically one of the first steps in every tutorial.

like: https://youtu.be/8V4q6usaYMk?t=594 (but I suggest to start from the first video of this series

)

Yeah but the problem is with "default controls" the arrow keys are not working the same as WASD. It's a bit complicated to explain and my english is not the best ^^

I think I have to set my main characters default controls to no and add some more actions to my walk events. With the default controls you dont need a action like "simulate platform pressing left". It also works without is, but just with the arrow keys. Thats was also the problem why my OR not worked... Thanks!

Keyboard | Keycode 87 is down Player move forward 2 pixels W key

Player set angle to 270 UP

as above keycode for A = 65 and angle 180

as above keycode for D = 68 and angle 0

as above keycode for X = 88 and angle 90

Thus you have 4 keys assigned W A D X
