Steering the boat

Postby psychowico » Sun Jan 15, 2012 2:52 pm

I propose that new directory of ship moving can be choosing by clicking on map.
Simple - you click at our map in place when you want you ship move.
I not have any good idea to facilitate speed choosing, maybe you have some..

Sounds like a good idea, although the mini-map might be too tiny to steer precisely. Speed could be chosen by varying the distance to the center.
Pretty in pink.

Sounds good. I picture it similar as Piscator said to choose the speed: as if the map was an X and Y axes, the further is the "square" you're clicking on, the faster your ship moves.

Actually, the most intuitive option might be to simply grab the end point of the ship's wake and pull it into a new length and direction.

I think it should work. It will be easy script.
