What may help you with that is changing the view vectors (i.e. what is forward, up, and right).

However, as I pointed out in an earlier topic, the real difficulty is to have the movement code oriented randomly. The movement is based on shapecasts, and in Source only axis-aligned box casts are possible. If you want to be able to walk on surfaces that are not axis-aligned, that introduces additional difficulties ( working on them as we 'speak' ). If you limit your movement to axis-aligned surfaces or do not wish to walk on surfaces in the new orientation, there's no difficulty really. -- Maarten > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > Hi!
