Gorlom Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Hellstormer you know that you can look at the keybinds when at the start a new game screen and going into the options? (I know i found it somewhere around that) The only thing thatis really confusing with that screen is the 11-16 soldiersa and vehicle hotkeys since they use a modifier but all you see is +1, +2, +3 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellstormer Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Yup but if it's here it's easy to find too The mods can always nuke the thread if they want <3 Edit: I probably should have made a "what is your most used hotkeys" thread tbh...

(I know i found it somewhere around that) There's still a lot of people asking questions that can be sorted by knowing the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 are there hotkeys for the interceptor battles? memory fading... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellstormer Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 I added some from the air combat - the ones I've used anyway. I'll keep poking around at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 what I'd like is a 1-3 to select your flying machine and then a further key to make it take evasive action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) yes thothkins there is. (copied from the keybind options ingame) General: W: scroll up A: scroll left S: scroll down D: scroll right : zoom out -: zoom in Geoscape: C: reset view Q: launch interceptor space: slowest speed 2: second speed 3: third speed 4: fastest speed Air combat: F1-3: selects corresponding aircrafts F4: selects all aircrafts 1-4: fires corresponding locked missiles 5: fires all locked missiles. Q: rolls the selected craft to the left (if it can roll) E: rolls the selected craft to the right (if it can roll) space: pauses and unpauses the game Ground battle: R: Toggle fire mode (primary) T: Toggle fire mode (secondary) B: Toggle burst/single mode I: Inventory C: Toggle crouching/standing up space: cancel in-progress movement L: end turn TAB: up one camera level modifier + TAB: down one camera level 1-9: Select soldier 1-9 0: select soldier 10 modifier (not sure which) + 1-6: selects soldier 11-16 modifier (not sure which) + 1-4: selects vehicle 1-4 Edited May 3, 2012 by Gorlom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellstormer Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Whooo Thanks Gorlom I'm just going to borrow that For with the aircraft I think "A" should toggle afterburner - right now there isn't a hotkey for that. I don't mind that there isn't a hotkey for "escape from battle" because you COULD accidentally press that which would screw you over...

I don't mind that there isn't a hotkey for "escape from battle" because you COULD accidentally press that which would screw you over... I believe A is currently used to scroll left even in the aircombat. General controls applies there as well. shift, Z, X, C, F or R would probably be better as hotkey(s) How about L for ending aircombat /retreating since it 1) is a far way from every other control in aircombat. 2) is already used in groundcombat to end turn.

Hellstormer Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Ground battle: R: Toggle fire mode (primary) T: Toggle fire mode (secondary) B: Toggle burst/single mode IMO this should be: R: Reload Weapon T: Right now ends turns which I'm fine with needs fixing to be accurately described in the game menu atm though! B: Good with this F: NEW ONE! THIS should be toggle the fire mode on/off. So hit it once you get the target icon with the accuracy displayed. Hit it twice you cancel out. G: Grenade Hotkey! Should work the same as the above suggestion IMO. I believe A is currently used to scroll left even in the aircombat. General controls applies there as well.shift, Z, X, C, F or R would probably be better as hotkey(s) How about L for ending aircombat /retreating since it 1) is a far way from every other control in aircombat. 2) is already used in groundcombat to end turn. Oh right forgot about that... Shift would make sense to me because in many, MANY games shift = run = move faster = afterburner. Or at least that's how MY mind works haha.

Gorlom Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 That's why I included shift. Although I know my brother isn't all to happy about shift as (toggle) sprint button (He had a lot of trouble with my Assasins Creed settings. "high profile" meant a lot of things, including running, and wasn't naturally bound to shift. He wasn't thrilled about my settings ) and I assume some other people have the same issue.

Commissar Pancakes Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Ugh...head hurts... btw, are these personal hotkeys you guys are posting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Hellstormer is. I'm assuming that I posted the standard setup as it appears in the game options. I might have changed some key but that was several builds ago and I'm assuming that updateing to version 10 has resetted my keybinds to the default. To make sure you can allways open the options menu from where you selct the difficulty and compare. PS. Either me or hellstormer has edited our hotkeys as mine and his list disagrees over the function of T and L.

Chris Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I've also added the quantity button hotkeys on the Geoscape, as not everyone seems to know about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
