Here's one way. Let's say you've set the variable (if that's what the
subject line is asking) in a keyDown handler in a movie script as shown in
the following untested Lingo:
-- movie script
global gLocIncrement
on keyDown me
case (the keyCode) of
123: gLocIncrement = point(-1,0)
126: gLocIncrement = point(0,-1)
125: gLocIncrement = point(0,1)
124: gLocIncrement = point(1,0)
end case
end
on keyUp me
gLocIncrement = point(0,0)
end
Then in a behavior script on Mario:
--behavior script
global gLocIncrement
on exitFrame me
sprite(me.spriteNum).loc = sprite(me.spriteNum).loc + gLocIncrement
end
I imagine there are other, more efficient ways, but this might get you
started. For instance, you may be able to utilize 'the keyPressed' to deal
with the user pressing 2 keys to move in a diagonal direction.
You would probably benefit by reading some of the many articles on the DOUG
