Stock Control Settings: Difference between revisions

*** As for the actual gamepads, [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!|it's unfortunately often varied]]. For example, with the Cross configuration, sometimes Confirm is the right button, and sometimes it's the bottom button. Cancel is usually the opposite, but not always. And who knows where Menu will end up.

*** There was a time when Eastern and Western control schemes were different: For Cross Western had the Interact and Confirm button on the bottom, Cancel next to it, and with the Menu over on the Pause or Start button. Eastern had them all on the cross, Menu at the top and the others switching. These blending may be adding to the unpredictability of the matter now.

* '''[[First-Person Shooter|First Person Shooters]]''' and '''[[Third-Person Shooter|Third Person Shooters]]:''' There are seven basic commands. Move, Aim, Fire, Run, Switch Weapon, Interact, and Menu. Typical additions are [[Secondary Fire]], Jump, Crouch, splitting different types of interaction, and allowing two-way weapon swapping.

** Keyboard & Mouse -- Move is with the arrow keys or W, A, S, and D keys (actually called WASD). Aim is with the mouse. Fire is the left mouse button. [[Secondary Fire]] and/or grenades is the right mouse button. [[Real Time Weapon Change|Switching weapons]] is with the scroll wheel and/or with the numerals at the top of the keyboard. Jump is space bar, like '''Platformers''' (which often have similar setups if it's an action third person game), Interact is the E key (or sometimes the F key, such as if the game has lean commands which themselves almost always Q and E), and the other commands are located around the WASD keys. Pause/Menu is Esc.
