What does +strafe do (Key: v)

[Nuke]

Its probalby a very silly question, but I did not find out what this key exactly does. To it seems totally superficial. But why is it there then. Or in other words. Do I miss anything if I bind something else to this key. Please help a padavan.

[druid]

I'm pretty sure I use this key to wall-walk combined with other keys of course

[Nuke]

did you bind something else to "v"?

[druid]

no, but to wall-walk I use these keys simultaneus:

Strafe(v), up+right(or left), jump

.....lemme check it out ... i'll be back ...

 

1 minute later: Yup, above description fits the bill

 

**yay, my 100 post**

[Nuke]

what do mean with walk-walk. When I want to wlk Ill press shift and one of asdw?

[druid]

I'm not sure what shift is set to by default,

since my keys are set up diferent. Maybe strafe toggle?

 

I know I read somewhere that you

have to use strafe to wall-walk

[druid]

I found this in a doc:

 

Wall-walking.

 

Wall-walking - (Gotta have level 2 jump) run along side a wall while strafing

in its direction and hit and hold the jump key. You'll run up the wall. Release

and hit jump again quickly to flip off the wall. Simply release to fall to the ground.

 

Anyway I use the strafe key to wall walk, maybe it can be done in a different way? Haven't tried it...

[Nuke]

ok, walking on a wall? I do like this: press forward, left(or right) and jump!

Yes you are right, just tried it...don't need the strafe (v) key

[Nuke]

hmm, seems to be a totally useless key I think I will pull it out and force_throw it away

If you use the mouse to look around, hold down the v button and you will move left and right when you move the mouse in those directions. When you let go of the key the mouse returns to it's regular turning function.

Yeah, it's a leftover from those doom-days where you used the directional keys to look around, not strafe around. Whenever you wanted to strafe, you held down the strafe key and used look left/right to move left/right.

shift is to walk since the default is to run

The v key can be helpful, for example when you run along a narrow walkway, keep forward and v pressed and swing your saber while strafing with the mouse. You will go into Spinning Moves or sidesweep moves while running perfectly straight, especially in red stance that wouldn't be possible w/out that key.

Ooooh... thanks for the tip bluezman!
