BINDING TYPES

BINDING TYPES

Basic Binding - This is the basic pressing and releasing of mouse and keyboards.
It has no +, - and arrow.

Axis Binding - This is the 2 way up and down position. (Useful for controlling camera range or scrolling the mouse wheel).
It has + and -.

Directional Binding - This is the 4 directions up, down, left, and right. (Used to control the > movement of a character or vehicle)

CREATE BINDING SET

CREATE BINDING SET

  1. First you have to create the first set of bindings. To do this, go into your project and click on the title " Window -> Bindings Manager".

  2. You will see a window "Bindings Manager" and there already has a set of "Default Bindings" you can delete or change.

  3. In the open window at the bottom there is a button "Create New Binding Set" press it and enter the name of the set.


  4. After successfully creating it still does not work in the game why? The thing is that it must be added to the hierarchy tree project to activate. You can move it to the client or the default. How did you transfer it to the project and it will work if you set up properly all the bindings at the time of creation, as well as specify the name of the action.


    PS: I recommend the client folder so you can control its creation and removal while changing the interface.

DELETE BINDING SET

DELETE BINDING SET

  1. To remove the bindings set, go to " Window -> Bindings Manager".

For each bind you can set a unique action name as well as a description to let the players know what the bind action does and customizable keyboard, mouse, and controller designator settings. And you can also move it up and down with three dots to tell the players where the bindings were removed.

  • Move Up
  • Move Down
