Hey,
I had a search and i'm not finding exactly what I'm looking for so decided to make a post. Apologies if it IS in fact duplicated..
I decided to mess around with the sort of idea of those 'twin stick shooters' but without using a controller I was using WASD for movement and Up Down Left Right arrows for shooting...... Now I think its due to keyboard ghosting (I read a bit about it and I don't care too much about the reason its happening but more for solutions right now) but S + D prevents Right Arrow from sending a signal and A + S prevents Down Arrow from sending a signal so there's two times where you can't shoot in a specific direction.
This cannot be a new issue surely.. I'm wondering if there are any suggestions for what keyboard users would use in this situation?
I used a Keyboard Checker and whilst holding S + D I was able to press every other letter so basically every other combination of options for shooting would work but is there a standard for a 'backup button combination' or anything? I used to think WASD was the backup to the arrow keys until I started playing a little on PC (I mainly play Playstation so keyboard info is new to me lol)
I guess I am asking, what is an acceptable replacement for the arrows keys? Or perhaps a 'better' method for shooting.. I could have the player object face the mouse position and have bullets go to there but thats not like the Twin Stick type of thing.. I'm not too bothered if I have to change the concept of course. Its better to change the concept than have people unable to shoot! --- Unless perhaps there's a way to 'fix' this issue? I should have perhaps asked that first .
Many Thanks and Happy Holidays!
