Use numeric pad for targeting body parts.

Post by Slignerd » #208729

While it's easy to change intents with a 1 to 4, it's much harder to switch between targeted body parts, requiring a manual click. Here's an idea for a simple implementation of body part targeting shortcuts.

Num8 - head
Num5 - chest
Num4 - right arm
Num6 - left arm
Num1 - right leg
Num3 - left leg
Num2 - groin
Num7 - eyes
Num9 - mouth

As usual, with holding Ctrl if Hotkey Mode is disabled.

Oh.

Yeah, those sound about right too. Except I would use Num9 for mouth.

ah, yeah, finger hit the wrong number, 9 would be ideal.

Many keyboards (especially laptop keyboards) now lack a numpad entirely. It would be wrong to put them at an in game disadvantage.

i think (not certain) that byond is kind of fucky with the numpad. remember that old bug where if you were in a mech and hit 5 on the numpad you would go up a z-level?

If you use a laptop keyboard for an extended length of time you will eventually look like Quasimodo.

There is a lot of very bizarre nonsense being talked on this forum. I shall now remain silent and logoff until my points are vindicated.

There is one great outcome from this: I rised up the blood pressure of some of you shitheads and lowered your lifespan. I'm honestly tempted to do this more often just to see you screech and writhe more, but that wouldn't be cool of me. So come on haters, show me some more of your high blood pressure please. 🖕🖕🖕
