Controls, useful actions and movement
6.1 Turning around and camera angles
The first thing many newcomers notice is a little troublesome movement.
In this part I will explain the movement and related things, based on a qwerty keyboard
mostly though, so you may use other keys, press G to see your keyboard map and hover the
mouse over the keys to see the actions assigned to them in case you can't find the keys I
describe here.
First of all: to turn around you can press space bar to get to aim mode, if it is disabled, you
can enable it in the option menu, press O for the menu.
Once in aim mode, you can move your mouse to look around.
Alternatively, you can hold the right mouse button pressed and move your mouse, which will
allow you to look and turn around as well.
The movement keys are "W", "A", "S", "D" and will move you forward, to the sides or
backwards. When you press "R" for "Auto-Move", you will be moving forward without the
need to hold a key.
Alternatively, you can use your mouse, a double click on the ground will make your avatar
move to the position, and a double click on the sky will have the same effect as "Auto Move"
in the clicked direction.
In case you are mainly using the mouse to move, you may be interested in changing to
"Navigate with single click" in the option menu.
A combination of aim mode moving forward with your mouse you can activate when you
press the right and the left mouse button. I suggest you first press the right and then the left
mouse button though, will prevent you from using your tool/weapon accidentally.
Once both keys are pressed at the same time, you will start moving forward and can change
your direction by moving your mouse. To stay in this mode, you just have to keep the left
mouse button pressed, not both at the same time; the right mouse button alone however
doesn't work.
To toggle to run mode, press "Q". The same keys will apply, but will make you run instead of
walk now, except moving backwards, which stays walking.
One of the easiest methods to get where you want to go is to look into the direction and press
R for auto run or double click on the sky in the direction you want to go to.
You can zoom in and out with your mouse wheel.
By holding the middle mouse button you can also look around in first person view and change
your camera angle in third person view.
When you click the middle mouse button in third person view, it will centre the view behind
or in front of you again.
