Impulse?

[Blackstar1000]

Does Quake have a problem reading many Impulses at once? As far as I can tell if two are called simultaneously it may reject one of them?

If, for example I did something of this sort


bind a +walking_left
alias +walking_left "impulse 19; +moveleft"
alias -walking_left "impulse 19; -moveleft"

bind d +walking_right
alias +walking_right "impulse 18; +moveright"
alias -walking_right "impulse 18; -moveright"


If I were to press A and D at the same time, as far as I can tell, the impulses come out all screwy. Any Idea?

inpulses are unreliable. issue two of them at once and it'll forget the older one. enjoy.

only one impulse can be sent by the client per frame.

This is terrible news. =(

maybe look at the player's "angles" and their "velocity" and figure out from that if they are moving towards their right or left

[Blackstar1000]

Stayed up all night getting the velocity check right. Success!

Any hints on where to start getting the directions for Forward, Back, Left, and Right.?

::EDIT:: Again ::: AGAIN::: ::AGAIN:::!! Saved me hours upon hours of work. These movement checks are unbelievable! My only problem was that I needed to add the .vector to the defs. ( I guess the darkplaces code comes with this initially )
But I figured it out immediately.

I was able to rewrite a huge chunk of my third person camera code more efficiently. It's amazing how perfect I was able to get it. The rest of these code blocks I am now looking into. Thanks again. I'm starting to feel more and more comfortable leaving my actionscript days behind me thanks to help like this.
