When I use newxvalye and newZvalye to move the camera, it only moves in 8 directions (0,45,90,135... degrees). Doesn't matter what direction the camera is facing, either, it just picks whichever 45 degree increment is closest and moves along it. Strafing works just fine with the newXvalue and newZvalue commands, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong!

I had problems with that but it was entirely due to limiting speed values. Can you post some code?

Well, I raised the step values of the functions and now the function correctly, I previously had them at 2, and before that, 1. So as far as I'm concerned, it works fine, but what is the best way to limit speed? Multiply the newx/newz values by .2, or so?

Use sin and cos instead.

x#=x#+sin(angle#)*step_value#
z#=z#+cos(angle#)*step_value#

The evil plan is now even closer!

even with that I have the same problems, as that is how I was moving around after newx, newz were causing trouble
