What do you use to control your bot?
« on: August 22, 2009, 09:04:34 PM »
Ive noticed lots of bots in SC, PYS, and restocked use the arrow keys to control the bot and space for the weapon. I find this weird because personally, I use WASD and Q for weapons. If I need a scrimech or reverse weapons I use E.

Oh and if your wondering how i put my hands, I put my right pointer finger on W and my right middle finger on D. On my left hand i have my pointer finger on A and middle on Q. If i need to back up i just move from W to S.

What do you guys use?

I am very left handed so I generally set up most Starcore AI pack bots to drive with WASD and Weapon is Space.

I then set up inverted controls on Arrow Keys.

When I first get the bots from guests that are entering their bots they are often set to Arrow Keys.

I use WASD, but only because my down arrow key is broken, and I lose without being able to backup. I am also left handed, so it works.

I use a PS2 controller. Left analog stick steers, L1 activates weapons, right analog stick controls throttle use.

Sometimes arrow keys and space too.

how does that work?


Anyway, I use the arrows and the space bar. If there's two controls,
i will use ether z and x or control and left shift.

Additionally, I have a Logitech Attack 3 joystick i could make use of, but haven't.

The arrow keys, mainly because I'm right handed.

Arrows and Space, usually. (Depends what else needs to be controlled.)

I use the arrow keys and spacebar; Z and X if my bot has multiple weapons.

I'm just not coordinated enough to have one hand doing both the weapons and the drive.

Arrow keys and space, B or V for a srimech. I'm most likely changing that soon, I've played so much halo at this point that I'm more comfortable with WASD.
