man not shooting anymore

Post by kuchenmann »

Suddenly my man does not shoot anymore when pressing SPACE-key. I do not know if it's a bug, or if I deactivated it? I have enough armour and weapons.

Have you run out of ammo?

Also, when shooting biters you use SPACE, but when shooting rocks etc you need to use C.

And are enemey near by? by space you shoot the nearest enemy at the cursor wich is in shooting range. If they are out of shootin range, you will not shoot.

IUf you want to shoot at something other use C

Check if you have weapon selected because by pressing Q you change slot. Sometimes it can happen accidentally when you cancel selected item (also Q).

Yeah SPACE only works when shooting at enemies. So if there are no enemies near by using space will just do nothing. If you want to shoot a specific thing, mouse over it and hit C. Also make sure your weapon (with ammo) is selected by cycling through them with Q.

SORRY MY FAULT! He just shoots when there are enemies or in front of a tree, wall, etc. Did no recognize this before ;-)
