TGE key-binding

by Benjamin Wilson · in General Discussion · 12/14/2002 (11:52 am) · 5 replies

Hi all,

I was following a camera zoom tutorial on this site, and I noticed that the keys used to move the camera were bound in /client/scripts/default.bind.cs
and in /client/config.cs

I tried binding the keys in only config.cs and it seems to work okay. Is it necessary to bind the keys in default.bind.cs?

Also, does anyone know how to bind the arrow keys?
ex. moveMap.bind(keyboard, upArrow?, zoomOut);

Thanks,
Ben

Config.cs is the run-time generated version of the client's key configuration, defaultbind.cs is the file that you should actually distribute. So simply change the bind in defaultbinds.cs and delete the config.cs and .dso and you'll see it works too, since the config.cs will be generated again.

Examples of binding arrow keys etc:

moveMap.bind(keyboard, "numpadadd", zoomCameraOut);
moveMap.bind(keyboard, "numpadminus", zoomCameraIn);
moveMap.bind(keyboard, "right", rotateCameraLeft);
moveMap.bind(keyboard, "left", rotateCameraRight);
moveMap.bind(keyboard, "up", rotateCameraUp);
moveMap.bind(keyboard, "down", rotateCameraDown);
moveMap.bind(keyboard, "insert", resetCamera);

Hey yall.

I am really confused. I am trying to change mappings. It appears that my .dso files are not being regenerated.
I make the changes in defualt.bind.cs and nothing changes I delete config.cs and nothing chagnes.

Is there a way to force teh rebuild of teh .dso files?

Just delete them and they recompile automatically when the game runs.
