Strafe

[Admins]

I am wondering if the strafing should be made easier. Right now you need to press the Shift key to strafe, but somehow I am pressing that key 90% of the time. May be it should also strafe when you keep S or D pressed, while rapid continuous fire ?

Steal Era's strafe system. I think Chrisz did a good job in that one.

How is that working ?

You could always log on and find out >_> (I don't play Era so I can't tell you)

Ah with the key you are enabling/disabling strafe, instead of holding the strafe key pressed ?

you can hardly call using such a simple idea "stealing"

Yes, when you press a button (like shift) it locks it in strafe mode and you dont turn until you hit strafe again.

Wouldn't that be hard to control while fighting ?
I like my idea of automatically strafing if you keep the weapon keys (S or D) pressed. Still allow strafe with Shift, but also strafe if you keep the fire key pressed, for people that have problems/are too lazy to hold several keys pressed at once.

It's possible to strafe on classic graal by holding left and right at the same time, the only problem is that the character always faces right. It's very useful for spars though.

If you start shooting the weapon, you should strafe against the direction you are facing.. So, I mean:

strafe ^
me -- shooting >
strafe v

p.s., off topic here... i sent you and unix the contract for the music job on graal... did it already start, or do I wait until someone talks to me about it?

I use S to move down and D to move right, I think others use the same o.o

It's very hard. It's easier to hold a key to strafe instead of having to constantly readjust while fighting.

I think your idea is better, Stefan. It would be easier to control, I think so.

Look at the people on Era.. they've goten quite good at it, and I think it's an awesome idea anyways. I hate holding down shift, in all honesty.
