Moving a player with Mouse?

Please help!

I’m trying to set up a combination front shooter/ top shooter-type of game where the character is controlled by the mouse and moves forward and along the x axis (to the camera borders). In other words, the mouse movement has to be restricted on 2 axis’ and not go off the screen.

I can’t quite figure out a method to use and so far I haven’t seen an example. I think the script would look somewhat similar to a FPS shooter but maybe there’s a much simpler way. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

you might be able to tale the 3d shooter template, and hack the unwanted axis off.

I’ve been trying that and still can’t get it right. I’ve been substituting getOrientation with getPosition and trying many other things. I’ll try posting what I have later.
