How to move around in Screencam Script?
Hey all, I'm trying to use the Screencam Script in my mod to capture some cool camera angles for my trailer (I want to use the Script to slide past a scene with Open Broadcasting Software doing the video capture).

Can someone explain to me how to move around - specifically, how to slide - while the script is activated? It seems to use weird motion controls that I can't figure out since there's no guide.

I thought you just flew it like a ship.

Change facing with keypad, slide with either shift keypad 1-3 left/right (although i have had to use shift 1-3 non-keypad on occasion) and shift keypad - and + for up/down

Those are just the default strafing controls; Battuta is correct, it's just flown like a ship (because it IS a ship; one fast enough to compensate for the massive slowdown from the time compression used).

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

Actually, aren't the controls shown on HUD after you go into screencam mode?

Okay, the Shift key is what I need, thanks!
