How to make a button to walk?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

Basically, I’m working on something and at a certain point, I want the player to stop using the keyboard and start moving with their mouse by clicking a gui with arrows on the screen, literally like on mobile

A quick resume would be how do I script the same movement as pressing a key?

I tried using MoveTo() but im not sure how to implement it

HELP

You can do their currentPosition + currentCFrame.LookVector * speed

#3

But what if i want them to move only to the left and right?

#4

Replace LookVector with RightVector and -RightVector

#5

I couldn’t quite get it to work…

MB.RightButton.InputBegan:Connect(function()
		char.HumanoidRootPart.Position = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector * 5
	end)
#6

HAHAHA i knew you had to be making some sort of 2d game, you could try using Hhumanoid:Move()

But doesn’t the Humanoid:Move() function require a vector3 parameter?

Yup that could work in your case if you pass the players RightVector/-RightVector

WAIT oh im dumb okay so basically you have to use WorldSpace which would just be

Vector3.new(1,0,0) and Vector3.new(-1,0,0)

So basically global right and global left

I think i built the game on the wrong rotation…

Do i just use different axis or is there any way to rotate the world or something like that?

#14

Ohhh yeah your def arent on the global X axis correctly but thats fine try these ones

Vector3.new(0,0,1) and Vector3.new(0,0,-1)

Thats the uh Z axis

#15

Works like a charm! Just one more question… any way to make it so you have to hold the button? because right now just by pressing it once the player walks permanently

#16

Trying doing Humanoid:MoveTo(HumanoidRootPart.Position), right after doing the moving left or right, in theory this should make you move whichever direction and then stop

#17

Actually it didnt work lol, it just stops me in place, like it wont move at all, isnt there something like InputBegan but like for holding?

#18

Wait I have a theory try to put a task.wait() inbetween

#19

Oh well that kinda worked, but it’s not like a hold the button thing, I want it to walk as long as you’re pressing the button, and stop when you release it

thinking-hmm
