Moving Around


Moving with the keyboard

You can use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move. Be sure your video area is selected, click your view of the world. Push your arrow keys. The diagram below indicates what each key does.

Flying (moving up and down)

You'll need to use the keyboard to fly up and down. On the numeric keypad, the + (plus) key moves you up, and the - (minus) key moves you back down again. You can hold these keys down to keep moving up or down, and you can use them in combination with the CTRL key to move faster or the SHIFT key to move through objects.(Please note: in AWGate Shift(Pass-thru) is disabled)

On laptop computers, which don't have numeric keypads, the + and - keys are usually accessible via a combination including your function key.

Additional key features

Several keys on the keyboard have additional effects when used in conjunction with the primary movement keys:

Moving faster - CTRL

To move faster with either the mouse or the keyboard, hold down the CTRL (Control) key while you're moving.

Moving through objects (Not available in all worlds!) - SHIFT

Moving sideways - SHIFT + Right/Left

Using the SHIFT key along with the left or right arrow will cause you to "slide" sideways.

Put on the brakes - "5" on the numberpad (Make sure Num Lock is off!)

Press the "5" key in the center of the number pad to come to an immediate stop. Holding it while moving also causes you to move slow. This is useful when trying to position yourself very precisely.
