Auto-Walk Key

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, my idea is simple.....an Auto-walk key to save holding w for what can sometimes be a very.....very long time. I like to travel primarily on foot with a sniper rifle on dayz....I find that cars can attract too much attention and fueling helis can become tedious. Also auto walk is found on a lot of RPG games so would fit with the transformation frm military simulator to zombie RPG.

all of the solutions above are very makeshift, and only display the need for an autowalk key

If you starting your game with Steam you can use the steam overlay the get autowalk.

1. press and hold w

2. press shift+tab while holding w (your pressing 3 keys at once)

3. release all keys (now your are in the overlay and your charackter is still walking)

4. press shift+tab to close the overlay (chrackter is still walking)

Yup, that's what I do. An autorun button in the standalone would be nice though.

Hello there

I'm anti autorun. Next, folk will want an auto loot macro.

Running a long distance *should* be a chore, like it is in real life. I think holding down a key for a while is the easier of the two.

Autorun toggle key is for pussies. I remember that there was a thread where real men had some cool solutions for autorun. Some people had put some effort on it :D

Manually walking forces you to focus, trust me people are going to complain about dying when afk running.

I doubt anybody could be that retarded.

I just balance an AA battery on the W key, only really works for W though since it's my most common key and resists the least.

I don't think SA should have auto run key though, as orlok said it's really lazy. I only do it if i'm trying to swim to Skalisty island

Stop complaining. in the early days of DayZ, we had to tap 'w' for each step we took. Sprinting across the map made your fingers bleed*.

Lol, I wouldn't mind having this in SA... Although I've never really had a problem without it. B)

I support an auto run button as well. We shouldn't need some heavy object to hold a key down. The "option" should be there for those that want to use it, and for those that don't want to use it, avoid pressing the key.

I wont be getting any beans for it, but I admit to using a very small tringle of a sticky post it note to denote the center point of my screen for firing from the hip on a server with no cross hairs.

Any game that routinely forces you to move several hundred meters in one direction should have an auto-run. Anyone that's ever had to run from Kamenka to NWAF would probably agree. I also use the shift-tab trick, but an auto-run key would make things easier. People will continue to create work arounds, so why not go ahead and include it?

Well, I don't think the point of the game is directly run to NWAF.. Running till you reach some place is pretty boring. At least stop in Zeleno and Vybor for supplies.
