Player: Foot Combat Controls
The Combat Reticle that should appear on the screen when the Player unsheaths a Melee Weapon. The white is determined by placement of the Mouse on the screen.
NOTE: If the Combat Reticle isn't animated (grey on a black background with each of the 6 points blinking white), then please click this image to see it animated.

These are the currently planned Combat Controls we want for the Player Character:
Melee Controls
Lock-On Control System
These are the combat controls planned for locking onto a target, and then the Combat Controls once locked on.
Targeting Controls
| Action | Control | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lock On/Off Target | MMB Click | When not Locked On, click MMB once to Lock On to nearest target. When Locked On, click MMB once to Lock Off target. Currently, clicking MMB several times in a row did freeze the Demo, caused a Fatal Error pop-up and crashed the Demo. Being able to click MMB when a target wasn’t near allowed the reticle to come up, which allowed me to perform attacks. Still has the crazy camera swinging issue. If we want this feature, I think we need for camera swinging to slow down a lot (this will only be for if you aren’t locked onto a target). |
| Switch to Right Target | Q | When Locked On, switch to right-most target |
| Switch to Left Target | E | When Locked On, switch to left-most target |
Melee Weapon Attacks
| Action | Control | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Overhead Swing | Mouse Movement Up + LMB (click) | |
| Upper Right Swing | Mouse Movement Up-Right + LMB (click) | |
| Lower Right Swing | Mouse Movement Down-Right + LMB (click) | |
| Upper Left Swing | Mouse Movement Up-Left + LMB (click) | |
| Lower Left Swing | Mouse Movement Down-Left + LMB (click) | |
| Thrust | Mouse Movement Center + LMB (click) |
Melee Weapon Blocks
Blocking: You hold to block in a direction. If you have a Shield, you will block with your Shield. If you have no Shield, you will block with your Weapon. Release to let go of holding up your Weapon/Shield to block.
| Action | Control | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Overhead Block | Mouse Movement Up + RMB (hold) | Blocks Overhead Swings |
| Upper Right Block | Mouse Movement Up-Right + RMB (hold) | Blocks Upper Right Swings |
| Lower Right Block | Mouse Movement Down-Right + RMB (hold) | Blocks Lower Right Swings |
| Upper Left Block | Mouse Movement Up-Left + RMB (hold) | Blocks Upper Left Swings |
| Lower Left Block | Mouse Movement Down-Left + RMB (hold) | Blocks Lower Left Swings |
| Center Block | Mouse Movement Center + RMB (hold) | Blocks Thrusts |
Locked Camera Control System
These are the combat controls planned for when you do not want to Lock-On to a target (in which you will need to Lock the Camera), and then the Combat Controls once the camera is locked.
Camera Lock
| Action | Control | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lock Camera (for Weapon Attacks) |
LMB (hold) | To Lock Camera, Hold LMB |

| Lock Camera (for Weapon Blocks) |
RMB (hold) | To Lock Camera, Hold RMB Blocks once per action |
| Unlock Camera (for Weapon Blocks) |
RMB (release) | To Unlock Camera, Release RMB |
Melee Weapon Attacks
| Action | Control | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Overhead Swing | LMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Up | |
| Upper Right Weapon Swing | LMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Up-Right | |
| Lower Right Weapon Swing | LMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Down-Right | |
| Upper Left Weapon Swing | LMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Up-Left | |
| Lower Left Weapon Swing | LMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Down-Left | |
| Thrust | LMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Center |
Melee Weapon Blocks
You hold to block in a direction, and release to let go of holding the Weapon or Shield up.
| Action | Control | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Overhead Block | RMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Up | Blocks Overhead Swings |
| Upper Right Block | RMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Up-Right | Blocks Upper Right Swings |
| Lower Right Block | RMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Down-Right | Blocks Lower Right Swings |
| Upper Left Block | RMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Up-Left | Blocks Upper Left Swings |
| Lower Left Block | RMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Down-Left | Blocks Lower Left Swings |
| Center Block | RMB (hold) + Mouse Movement Center | Blocks Thrusts |
Ranged Controls
Shooting Controls
[WIP]
- You need to have a Bow equipped in at least 1 of the 2 Back Weapon Slots, and a Quiver equipped in Belt Slot 1.
- You need to unsheath the Bow by clicking the
3or5(the hotkeys of the 2 Back Weapon Slots), and click it again to sheath it (like with Melee Weapons). - There will be several different types of Arrows. While the Bow is unsheathed, you can scroll the
Mouse Wheel Up/Downto change between the Arrows stored in your Quiver. - To Nock the currently selected Arrow into the Bow, you need to
Left Mouse Button (LMB) Hold. - To Shoot' the nocked Arrow in the Bow,
LMB Release.- Arrows should have physics behind them, with randomization in their Firing Ark (Skill Levels should help offset the randomization).
- The longer an Arrow is nocked in the Bow, the worse the aim will be. Also moving before Shooting should also make your aim worse.
- There should be a random chance with whether the Arrow will break upon contact with anything. Characters can collect Arrows that haven't broken.
