Ok, Ive been working on moving a player in a multiplayer game for quite a while now and I cant seem to get this down.

Currently I am using wsad to move my character, the character is not getting rotated to face the direction it is moving yet. I am using the simple...

		If KeyDown(17) Then ;W
			MoveEntity Ply.Plyr(0)\Piv,0,0,Speed
		EndIf
		
		If KeyDown(31) Then ;S
			MoveEntity Ply.Plyr(0)\Piv,0,0,-Speed
		EndIf
		
		If KeyDown(32) Then ;D
			MoveEntity Ply.Plyr(0)\Piv,Speed,0,0
		EndIf
		
		If KeyDown(30) Then ;A
			MoveEntity Ply.Plyr(0)\Piv,-Speed,0,0
		EndIf

In your opinion, what is a good player movement code for a top down multiplayer game. What kind of code would you use to transmit movement for the players?

Thanks for any insights.
