After I read just another thread about the problems with multiplayer and <Key Pressed> trigger events causing lag I started to think if there was a way to come around this, I ended up with an idea and I successfully found a way. And of course I want to share this with my fellow mapsters!
So what is this? It's a simple 4-way move system where I have been using an abilities and triggers reaction to when an ability is used.
I know its just 4-way movement but I think theres a way to get diagonals too, it's just that I don't wanna put more effort into something I won't use. The thought was that someone else would.
HOWEVER; the bad thing is that you have to create four triggers for each player, but it works though! :)
as cool as this is there a few issues w/ it.(i didnt test the map i just assume these are issues unless u found ways around them)
u have to keep on pressing the button on the command card or the hotkey for it. You cant just press and hold. ( thought up of a possible solution to this as was typing it lol, what if the abilities where channeled?, so that as your channeling u will be moving in the direction, but when u press it again u stop channeling and stop moving in that direction.)
When you disable the UI don't hotkeys stop working? atleast when i did stuff w/ the ui im pretty sure when i disabled the command card area htokeys wouldn't work(wasn't much and idk too much about it tbh)
No you haven't, you can just hold the button. I think it depends on what kind of ability you use, I used an ability with "Instant Effect" ability type.
Question on the UI part. Would there be a way to place the wasd commands on command card 4...move command card 4 off of the screen and still have it work without disabling the ui?
This is assuming you can have more then one command card on the screen at the same time but with some of the nifty things I have seen with moving the default UI around I dont see why not.
Edit: I assumed the keys were set to wasd or where they on the arrow keys? If so could it be moved to wasd?
As far as I know you can't have more than one command card visible and secondly it is bound to the WASD keys atm, I don't know if you can assign hotkeys to the arrow buttons :)

I hope that at least someone will appreciate it!

I know about the UI, that's still a problem tho.

Sorry for a slow response but anyway..
