Title: Moving crits around the game
Post by Dragon_Tamer on 08/26/03 at 00:51:30
I think that typing n,e, s, or w takes 2 long. Why don't you staff members make it so the arrow keys control the movment of the crit ?? I mean i have no problem with how the game is controlled it's only a sugestion.
Or maybe even have it so the game can be controlled with a joy-stick or controll pad??

Arrow keys I can understand, but controller/joystick is just ridiculous. Although, I still would like to see the numpad become useable for macros.

I think the numpad should be used to move instead of the arrows because it's easier and the up and down arrows are already in use.

I suppose it could work, using - + for up and down.

I use macro's to move . . .

for example my mages macros are as follows

F1: W
F2: N
F3: S
F4: E

F5: /cast beam/Scorpion
F6: /cast beam/Sand
F7: /cast invisibility/Despair
F8: /use advanced mana crystal

F9: /Party
F10:
F11: /cast haste/Despair
F12: /cast aura of protection/Despair
(all Auto send)


Some people say using macros to move is a waste of macro's but I can move very fast this way and have enough macros left to do everything else I need to do . . .

well there was discustions about this before and it was said that it would be to confusing becuse of position on a map and the arrow keys something to this effect but I think if u made it so north was up south was down east was right and west was left then it would work fine but then you would have to cange the up down to scroll threw your previously typed text to page up page down but it would actuly make it harder for ppl becuse most fokes use tere right hand to type and there left to use the mouse wich makes it more of a problem to switch back and forth.... for me any ways

Ok now right handed ppl use there right hand 2 operate the mouse, where i use my left hand 2 operate the mouse and 2 type with cuz i have nerve damage in my right hand & arm which makes it very difficult 2 controll the movement of my fingers on my right hand. So i havta use my left hand 4 everything....typeing, controlling the mouse, writeing, holding small obects, cups, o0r whatever i used 2 use my right hand 4. But i have limited controll over my fingers on my right hand but i still manage 2 play the game even tho i do everything with only my left hand...!!

But seriously, yeah, moving around using numpad keys is a good idea, i assume they would be autosend?

actuly thinking about it if the arrows where used and it was atomatic i.e. pressing up u go north one sqare no enter then it would make it alot easyer to swtich off I like it ;D

Sorry to go off topic. But why is it you can't use the F10 macro without it highlighting the top menu also?
