Thanks, this is something I slapped together for a challenge I used to do to make a ‘game’ in a week with free assets Epic would give away every month.
You can check out my YT channel if you want to see what I’m working on now, but maybe I should consider going back and taking this concept a bit further…
If you have a round in your hand, tap F when your hand is over a slot in the cylinder to put that round in that slot.
You can also use this video as a reference: https://youtu.be/3ymioifL76k?t=241
The keys and mouse buttons I’m pressing are in the bottom left.
In response to requests to be able to try out the controls in their current state, I have uploaded a file called InputTest which will allow you to do just that.
While the controls are highly subject to change based on feedback and new features, keep in mind that it is intentional for the controls to have some amount of “jank”. Specifically, where restrictions or awkwardness add to the “feel” of operating a weapon.
The controls shouldn’t be anywhere near as bad as something like Surgeon Simulator or QWOP, where fighting the controls is the point. But they also shouldn’t be expected to live up to twitch shooter standards either.
The current control scheme is as follows:
Default:
Quit Game - Escape
Load Single Action Revolver Level - 1
Load Double Action Revolver Level - 2
Jump - Space
Use Left Hand - LMB (Hold)
Use Right Hand - RMB (Hold)
Look - Mouse
Movement - WASD
Sprint - Shift (Hold)
Using Hand:
Pick up/Put down Object - F
Holding Object:
Ready Left Object - LMB (Hold)
Ready Right Object - RMB (Hold)
Readying Object:
Aim Mode - Caps Lock (Hold) Note: LMB/RMB can be released
Manip Mode - X (Hold) Note: LMB/RMB can be released
Cock Hammer - Mouse Scroll
Toggle Safety - Mouse Middle Click
Aiming:
Activate Object - LMB/RMB (Tap) Note: The off-hand will operate the hammer, the main-hand will operate the trigger
Cock Hammer - Mouse Scroll
Toggle Safety - Mouse Middle Click
Manipulating:
Rotate Object - Mouse
Toggle Pitch/Roll - Shift (Hold)
Touch Object - LMB/RMB (Hold) Note: Only the off-hand can be used to touch, the main-hand will operate the trigger
Grab Component/Object - F (Hold) Note: LMB/RMB can be released
Cock Hammer - Mouse Scroll
Toggle Safety - Mouse Middle Click
Holding Component:
Move/Rotate - Mouse
Totally agree with your feedback, I originally made this in 3 days for the Wowie Game Jam and kind of burnt myself out. I should have used the extra time for this jam to make the platforming around the shelves feel much better, but [insert excuses].
And you’re right, doing what your boss tells you is the trap. I also needed to figure out how to make that more clear to players…
