These are used to move the player around in 3D space - for example, if you wanted to move the player forward an amount x, then the player's origin would have x * pmove->forward added to it - to strafe, you'd use right, to jump, you'd use up. They simply represent the direction that the player is pointing - think of them as three axes. (The angle between each one is always 90 degrees.) ------------------------- Francis "DeathWish" Woodhouse
