Or if the problem is hands being too close I could add Arrows/F/G.<br /><br />I want to keep WASD because I think a lot of people expect that from games these days.RGAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146616585837840287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252386957366868878.post-6752134738309715432016-01-22T03:40:51.156+00:002016-01-22T03:40:51.156+00:00I agree with Joseph on the key selection for pick-...I agree with Joseph on the key selection for pick-up.

If not, might I suggest switching that key to shift instead of j? It's much easier if using arrows. E is fine for wasd but J is, for me, an odd choice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386465647316397466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252386957366868878.post-4482029766897548652016-01-16T16:59:16.043+00:002016-01-16T16:59:16.043+00:00More Wiping and the Gauntlet.

As well, yellow fixed guns head to head produce some weird schit! You can see it in my latest level "Shrooms for Rob". It is easily beatable but interesting to watch.<br /><br />And Domna, are you kidding me? (Cooperation) Killing that bug was an exercise in futility but I did get him once and beat the game!<br /><br />For those who are getting the blinding flicker in bgfx in edit mode, hit play, move your guy and hit 6 to prevent "instancing".

So kinda similar to the comment section just slightly less cluttered.<br /><br />If you want more ordered discussion, some cheap forum software would work (yet again, most games have forums!)... but that is some work to upkeep haha.
