Adding key and mouse navigation?

How do you add key and mouse navigation to a world just through a script.

My system is based on a null object--or a component with nothing in it, if I am using the correct lingo...

Attached to that component is a single worldsetup.js script that controls everything.

I want to add Navigation -- mouse and keystroke to this world. How do I do it? Do I have to add an avatar object and attach the mousescript to the camera and the avatar object? So far attaching the mousescript to the null object does nothing.

Any help on the basic concept of how a script can interact with preset scripts or components? would be greatly appreciated..

thanks,

Dan

 

Just fyi I am coming from using Blink3d.
Blink3d Has a built in Avatar and the following features

arrows up down move avatar in z axis. The avatar walks.
right/left move the on x axis, avatar walks

mouse movement same thing.

mouse or keys and ctl tilts head of avatar
mouse or keys and shift moves avatar in Y direction.

Is there some way to duplicate all of this in a few easy moves.

Thanks,

Dan

 

sounds like you wantto use character controller and mouse look and fpswalker on your can or did I missunderstand your target? perhaps a modified fpswalker depending on the usage or orbit instead of mouselook

 

At this point I don't know how to do anything really.

I tried adding the first person contoller to a cube named Avatar, but it doesn't do anything.

Also the first person controller brings in it's own camera, and I don't really know how to switch cameras.

So I'm basically not getting very far by dragging and dropping objects around.

Have you had a squiz at this?

Just wade through all the tutorial stuff, theres a wealth of information there. The third person platformer might be a bit too heavy to begin with but the other tut's are quite easy to follow.
