I have it so that the player turns toward the mouse and move back and forth with the W and S keys, but I am not quite sure how to make the player move left and right, while staying relative to the rotation of the player. Please help and thank you!! I have included the code for the player:

For left:
?

3
turn(-90);
move(<?>)
turn(90);
For right, reverse the order of the lines.

Sorry about the delay, but what do you mean by move(<?>) ? Thank You!

Just replace the '<?>' with the numeric value representing how far you want the actor to move sidesways with respect to moving toward the mouse.

Sorry that was a dumb questions. However, when I try to make the character move to the right it doesn't seem to work. Going to the left does however. Here is the code for the player moving right:

if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("d"))

move(WalkSpeed);

Does it make a difference where the mouse is? or is it always the right that has problems? and what code did you use to go left?

As far as moving left, it seems to work where ever the mouse is. I don't know if using the turnTowards method stops the movement to the right (line: 87). For the code to the left i am using:

move(WalkSpeed);

Okay, show both the 'moveLeft' and 'moveRight' methods along with the 'act' method (for now).

Sorry, It seems that the code works now, for some reason my computer wasn't responding to the code and with a restart of greenfoot it seems to work. Thank you!!
