Hi Damien, Ummm..I'm not sure about that. I don't know how your move function actually works. I know my movement functions would require the player's angle, AKA the direction the player is facing, his/her speed, plus the x, y, and z position and calculate a vector along that direction to find out where the player's next step will be. For that reason I wrote separate functions to move correctly.
What I'm saying is that my movement functions don't simply add or subtract 1 to the x/y/z axes. They use trig based calculations to determine where the player's next step will be given the player's current angle, velocity, and position in 3d space. So I'm not quite sure how your movement function works and if it would really apply to a 3d fps engine or not.
