Hi there!
I'm currently working on a leveleditor for a Jump n' Run game.
Saving / Loading levels from text-files, deleting blocks, moving
the camera, ...
Everything works fine - but again I've got problems with the simplest part.

I want to move an entity with the W,S,A,D-keys in 4 directions (X+ / X- / Y+ / Y-).
The W-key (for example) should always move the entity away from the camera.

I'm using this at the moment:


But it doesn't work correctly.

Didn't text it. Its just the way I would start to, in case that the camera looks to arbitrary directions.

vec_set(temp, camera.pan);//set an interims vector to the angel of the camera
(for key_a you don't need to change anything here, but for the other keys do something like the following here: temp.pan += 180;//for key_s - temp.pan += 90;// for key_d or a)
vec_for_angle(temp, temp);//change the angle to a vector
vec_scale(temp, key_w);//multiply the vector with the key value (1 or 0)
vec_add(object.x, temp);//add the vector to the object's position

Thanks for the reply!

I'll try it.
