Mouse movement for FPS

[SirThorfinn]

Ok i'm still perfecting my methods and I've seen the mouse movement example but i'm not sure how to make it work in a different world like the one I've been working on so the mouse when moved (without clicking) will also move the head of your player

(Note: I set the head movement <for now> to the arrow keys because i was experimenting with controlling the game with a joystick using JoytoKey to emulate joystick commands to keyboard keys)

What I do is I have a "body" object, which is just a cube from the objects folder that I renamed "body", and I set it point of view to the camera (right click cube and do methods, set point of view, camera). Then I go to the camera property and do set the vehicle of the camera to the "body". I then use the "body" to look side to side, and the "camera" to look up and down. The reason you can't have the camera looking side to side also is because if the camera is looking up, and then you tell it to turn left or right, it will go at an angle and screw up the screen. You will also have to move using the "body" instead of the camera from now on.

P.S. If you have a character that walks in your game, you dont need to make the body, just use the character in the place of every time I said "body" in the above directions, including setting camera vehicle to character.

Here is a world I just made that basically shows how to do it, you can see my other recent worlds to see how I get the scrolling also in case you want to put that in:

Ah, with those mouse movement methods you have to do some scripting, which is beyond your normal drag-and-drop.

I'm feeling lazy right now, but just enable scripting in Alice, copy the world script, paste it into your own world, and copy the methods as well.

Otherwise, use the pre-built world and kind of 'restart' using that world.

You don't have to do scripting, I did it with simple drag and drop.

EDIT: PS look at my first post, I have the world in it.

OK. Find a folder called .alice2 on your computer. Inside there should be an XML document called AlicePreferences. Right-click, and select Open With > Notepad.

Search for enablescripting, and scroll a bit to the right of that, where it should say "false". Change that to "true".

Re-open Alice and it should be there. Right click on the world object, and one of the options is edit world script. There you go!


Oh, didn't see your post there, Dameria.
I meant that for full mouse control, meaning that you can make the mouse never go off the screen.

Well I just fix that by adding a "scroll" to my mouse control, which makes it so that when your mouse goes to the end of the screen it just scrolls to the side. It is not in this example because I made this quickly, but you will see it in my Sniper example when I post it (I still need to finish the multiple subpart death animations).
