Thank you for taking a look.
Using Windows 10 PC.
I want to remap the keyboard, especially change WASD to the arrow keys.
How is this done, precisely?
I don't own an Xbox console, but I did invest in a controller, third party knockoff, that
plugs into my PC.
Using joysticks for combat doesn't work for me.
The Left moves my body around, and the right changes where my head is aimed.
The Action key is the right trigger of the controller.
May sound crazy to you, but I want one hand to do both things: move body and move point of view.
Why?
Because if I'm using my brain to tell my right hand to look at where the enemy is, there is
not enough "human bandwidth" to also tell my right hand to Attack.
I can either turn my point of view with the joystick, or I can pull the action trigger.
Sort of like that incredibly stupid thing they teach little kids:
Rub your tummy and pat your head at the same time.
Well, I can't and I don't want to.
When I played with Playstion One, this wasn't an issue. One hand controlled where I moved and looked.
Or at least I think that was what it was like.
EDIT: leaving this up in case others find it helpful. Discovered by accident that I can use the MOUSE for combat.
Scroll point of view with mouse with unelievable smoothness and precision completely unobtainable with Joystick, and
Righ Click to attack.
Whew.
