So, I know this thread has been brought up many times, but I was wondering what the best key mapping (what action to what key) would be best for gun switching. Most people will tell me to use the mouse wheel to change weapons, but is there a different way, without using the mouse wheel? Also, would I use mouse for forward movement?
The issue I run into with mouse movement is that I can only move forward while gun switching.
Here is my current controls that I use:
z - attack
x - shield (dash in this case)
space bar - switch
mouse left click - forward movement (think this is my issue)
c - dash (doesn't really matter in this case)
wasd - for strafing movement (not for main movement, mouse is for that)
So... I main concern with this is that I can't move in different directions while shooting.
Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance to everyone who posts.
Edit: These are the only keys I use. Nothing else. So no attacking with right-click.
But perhaps I can help with the movement issue.
What I've done, and it seems to work well for me, is map a key to 'Move Backwards'. For you, I'd guess a key like E or Q would be easiest to reach. Perhaps even Right Mouse could be an option, unless that's what you use to fire. I'm not sure, you didn't list it.
This allows me to retreat while firing off some shots, and helps with corners somewhat. Why? Because, the knight still follows the cursor-just backwards.
If you do go about this, get used to it with the ATH, a GTH, or t1 before using it in t2 or 3. You have to pay attention to both the monsters and the hazards, which could be a problem for some.
Hope this helps!
