A pretty basic question really, I kind of feel silly for creating an entire thread just for this, but.... Will movement be point-and-click or WASD/Arrow Keys? Or something else? That's pretty much it, uh, thanks in advance

Point and click, but with path-finding to walk around collision areas.

As long as it's not like Pokemon.
A random tree is in the way! But noo. You can't go around it, see, you need a special move to cut it down!
B.S. Pokemon. Ugh.

Let's say you click on the other side of a wall while you're in front of it, you will walk around the wall to the other side, instead of running into it. If I understood correctly.

Yes, but there is a limit to how far you can walk. So like you couldn't walk from one side of the map to the other. Or if there was like a maze map with the start visible from the exit but with a wall separating, you wouldn't be able to click on the exit and have it just walk through the entire maze. It will walk around walls, but only if the complete path is visible on screen. So (pardon the crude examples, but it gets th epoint across):
If this was your screen where the player is P, X are places you can't move and C is where the player has clicked. The dashed line is the path the server will generate.
First and second cases, there is a valid path around the wall and that is where you will walk. _____________________ _____________________ | | | | | ------------< P | | ------------< P | | | | | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx| | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx| | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx| | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx| | |---------------- | | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx| |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | | | | |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | | |----------> C | | C <-------------| | |_____________________| |_____________________|
Here there is no path within your screen that is walkable so no path will be calculated. You can see the wall extends just outside the screen, doesn't matter. _____________________ | | | P | | | |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|xxxx |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|xxxx <--edge of wall is just outside range of screen. |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|xxxx | | | C | |_____________________|
As you can see, examples 1 and 2 both have longer paths, but 3 doesn't have a path that is on the visible screen.

well, the third option would probably say something like "No path found".
