Strafe

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 ?

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

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

He means don't do any scripting yourself and just take Eras and voila, one Strafe system ready to strafe! Of course it would need to be edited quite a bit I assume, to fit in with Zone. But yeah, he was suggesting stealing the script - not the idea.

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

You could just use the "0/Ins" on the numpad.
As simple as moving your pinky finger across and holding it down.
I also like Kai's idea of locking onto a particular player. Then by pressing left or right you circle the selected player and by pressing up or down you move further away or closer to the selected player.
That would work very nice.
But then I guess it comes to the fact of firing. You would need to change the shoot to shoot towards the selected player instead of just shooting in the direction you are facing (playerdir).

That is not what I meant. I am not necessarily advocating any alteration to how the movement keys work.

Yes I know, but I was. I could sense you saying this as soon as I clicked on submit.

I like kaimetsu's mouse strafe idea. It at least makes sense to add that as a way to strafe in addition to the other ways considering you can already use the mouse to move and fire (I think).
