Simulating keys being pressed

How would I simulate pressing the right key, left key, space bar, etc... so that my bot moves accordingly

Re: Simulating keys being pressed

According to the Everybody Edits Protocol, the Horizontal Direction is the left/right key and the Vertical Direction is the up/down key.

Values:
Vertical Direction:
-1 (Up)
0 (No key pressed)
1 (Down)

Horizontal Direction:
-1 (Left)
0 (No key pressed)
1 (Right)

For jumping, specify "true" to Space Pressed to simulate holding space, likewise Space Just Pressed when you first press the spacebar.

If you need clarification feel free to ask.

EDIT:
Typo

Re: Simulating keys being pressed

As Emalton said, you can specify your "buttons pressed", however, to create realistic movement that's far from the entire story.

If you're planning on making your bot move in one direction, hit a block (come to a complete stop), go another direction, hit a block (come to a complete stop), etc. You're probably off fine with providing just what Emalton said.

If you want to make him move more intricately, you will have to specify the horizontal and vertical speed modifier and time everything correctly.
There have been a few threads about "recording" player movement and then playing it back on a bot, and even then the bot generally moves rather jerky (unrealistically).

Unless you feel like spending (a lot) of time in figuring out how exactly the EE physics work, I suggest you to try and find an alternative or use more simple movement (like mentioned earlier).

I haven't had any issues with replaying movements.

And Cercul1 I think EEPhysics might help if you are looking for more precise movements.
