How to make the player move forward on a path on specific input

hncarlos

Hi everyone! I'm new here!

So I'm making an isometric game and I want the player to move forward along a path when pressing a single button.

I'm using Player:Lock to Path, and it's working as it should. But my problem is that I want the player to move forward when press a specific button (space, for example), right now the player only moves if I press the same direction of the next node.

Movement Method is "Direct" and Direction-movement Type is "relative to camera" (tried "Tank" but did not work either)

Maybe i'm missing something!

Thanks!

Welcome to the community, @hncarlos!

To achieve, this, you'd need to temporarily disable AC's Movement system in favour of a custom script.

Try the one below by placing it in a C# script file named MovePlayerPath and attaching it to a GameObject in your scene. You'll need to define an input in its Inspector - this should be the name of an input defined in your Input Manager, rather than the name of the input key needed to press:

using UnityEngine;
using AC;

public class MovePlayerPath : MonoBehaviour
{

    public string inputButton = "MovePlayer";

    void Update ()
    {
        if (KickStarter.player.IsLockedToPath ())
        {
            KickStarter.stateHandler.SetMovementSystem (false);

            bool inputHeld = Input.GetButton (inputButton);
            if (inputHeld)
            {
                KickStarter.player.isRunning = KickStarter.playerInput.IsPlayerControlledRunning ();
                KickStarter.player.charState = CharState.Move;
            }
            else if (KickStarter.player.charState == CharState.Move)
            {
                KickStarter.player.StartDecelerating ();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            KickStarter.stateHandler.SetMovementSystem (true);
        }
    }

}

Thanks! It worked!

I have to say, AC is amazing! It changed completely the way I create games! Thanks for that too!
