Icejza_DaChilla 3 Posted July 15, 2012 Hello, I am a fairly new DayZ player (only the last 10 days or so) and I love this game. The sandbox concept and huge world makes this game super appealing; however, I noticed my middle finder on my left hand has started to feel the pain from running around a 225sq km map all day. I've invested in a quarter to shove in between my 'W' and '2' keys to allow my character to run without me holding the key down all of the time, but that doesn't always work and isn’t really a permanent solution. Back in the day I used to play the original Everquest game that also has a gigantic in game world and they had 'Num Lock' as the autorun key. Is there any way we can implement that into the DayZ mod? I've been thinking about the realism part of the game, and I know a few people who run marathons. They say when they are running they don’t even think about it, it’s as if they are on autopilot. So I would assume that a lost individual in a zombie apocalypse who's had to run non-stop for days on end would have the same mindset, so this would not take away from the realism concept of the game (which I love so much). And as far as the vehicles are concerned, most automobiles since the 1980's have had cruise control, so maybe we can just assume that’s what our characters are using if they apply the numlock/autorun while in a vehicle.Thoughts? Suggestions? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quaby 93 Posted July 15, 2012 Just put a heavy die on the W key and you're set ^^.While your at it, play I Spy with your buddies, that will pass the time ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zipper 69 Posted July 16, 2012 From what I understand this is something that is being looked at in Arma 3. If you want auto run, search the forums and find the macro for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I fail to see how any of that statement furthers the conversation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
