Input Device Reference (Apocalypse)

Intent of Page

This page will eventually contain an index and an explanation on what keys are available in the game and what they do. The game manual only goes so far in explaining some of the keys, and many players will not know or use many of the useful keys available for interacting with the game.

For now, refer to the control reference that Zombie's put together on StrategyCore.

Waypoints

Waypoints may be given to airbourne or road vehicles.

• Give a vehicle a target destination (this can include "Attack" command).
• Clck the "Move to Destination" button (next to "Move to Building" button)
• Hold down the control button (CRTL) and LMB click somewhere on the overhead cityscape to add a waypoint.
• The yellow line shows the path the vehicle will take after you release the buttons

Group Selection

• Select multiple vehicles by holding down the CTRL button and either, LMB click on the icon in the bar displaying your craft, or click on the individual yellow icons on the cityscape portion.
• The vehicle with the yellow border is the one which has its weapon loadout displayed in the interface. The vehicle icons with an orange border denote the other vehicle with in this temporary group.
• To remove a vehicle from the selection, hold down CTRL and RMB click on its icon.
• The craft highlighted with the yellow border is the vehicle that will be under manual control when pressing M.

Battlescape Controls

• Jumping with J + LMB allows an agent to jump off a ledge. This is different from the automatic jump performed when an agent comes across a one-tile hole. If an agent makes a two-tile-hole jump (this is only automatic) then the jumper may briefly fall unconscious.
• Alt-LMB will place a move-to marker for an agent to which the destination is occupied by another agent. When you move the occupier, the other agent will take the new position. Useful with line formation to avoid leaving a gap when moving between cover.
