Controling a character

O.K, I've just downloaded the IRRLICHT editor and I'm tryin' to make an RPG game. My problem is I don't know how to make a character controlable.

You make it controllable by programming that.

Mysterio do you mean put a character together in a irredit scene and then be able to control it with mouse and keyboard movement?

Read the movment tutorial in the Irrlicht folder. It should give you a basic understanding of how to move a character.

I recommend using IrrWizard to create a basic game framework for you. It has tutorials on expanding the basic framework, and its own forums in which you can ask questions.

If you are determined to do it yourself from scratch then you will get better help if you ask more specific questions.

You know how in all the games you can make your character jump,walk,run or climb...
Well I can't get my chracter to do that.I've got all the animation needed but I can't use 'em.

I'm not a programmer I'm more of an animator.

mysterio, now you're talking. i can hear you now.

are you looking for a tool that will let you put a model into a map and have it move inside the map?

I'm not a programmer I'm more of an animator.

then tell your programmer to do it, or become a programmer, or dont try make games with animation. animation != games, unless you use blender game engine (again, programming to a tiny extent)

IrrEdit just isn't for making games, it's for making a scene which can later be used in Irrlicht.
I'd also recommend that you search for a programmer who has basically the same vision as you.
