New keybindings issues

[cutie_cakes 0]

New here, I apologize if this has been answered, but a brief (i didn't dig too deep to be fair) search brought up nothing.

 

I'm not sure how many people have had this issue, but I'm trying to change the controls to a more quake-like setup, and I'm constantly having issues with it.

The game constantly will not let me, after assigning everything else appropriately, use any new controls.

 

A basic idea:

 

Walk forward: right mouse button

Optics and every other variation that's usually bound to right mouse button are of course bound to other things.

It also deletes left mouse button as the fire button, and I can't change it to anything.

 

 

I don't want to learn how to play a different way to play this game, so if anyone has had this issue, and knows how to fix it, please let me know. This is frustrating.

This is due to legacy control options.

What you need to do is remove any conflicting commands or give another setting.

 

For the Move Forward command you must go to the View menu and deselect/re-bind the zoom command.

Some commands may be hard set although I cannot confirm this, you will have to experiment.

 

When the command is in red does not mean there is conflict, one of the beauties of ArmA/BI/DayZ control system is the ability to map more than one command to the same key/mouse button.

For example Toggle Lean Left/Right will also serve as Evasive Left/Right, as will Go Prone will not cause conflict with the UP command, when you are prone it (UP) will raise your stance by increments, crouched / standing.

 

Another example from ArmA III (and soon DayZ) I use is UP/Prone/Crouched mapped to the mouse + & - sensitivity buttons but also for engine on/elevation up/down while flying a helicopter, or turbo when driving a road vehicle, all on the + or - mb's.

 

The Bohemia control system is complex and confusing at first but once mastered there is none better.

So to resume, each control category has its own group, Infantry/View/Vehicle/Inventory... (depending on game/& development progress) and will not necessarily cause conflict if used intelligently, do not forget it is possible to delete a command/key bind, if not required.

 

Good luck with that, many a head has been scratched in the past, you are by no means the first, nor the last to be left flabbergasted when first encountering DayZ/ArmA control configuration.

 

Might help, might not.
