Hello everybody,
My question is how can I change the control of a tank?
I want to have the control like that ->
W: Forward , A Left (turn) D: Right (turn) S: Backward
My cannon should rotate about 360° (with the mouse)
And now I ask you how I get the control like that.

I hope that any of you can help me.
Thx in advance

PS:Help me and I will release this tank for all of you with real tank sounds.

Here a Picture:

I have needed 3 days for this model.

in order to use W, S, A,D for the controls, you simply set it to that in the game under options and then change the controls.

@woner: I think he means set it so that the mouse and the control keys do separate things. Aka: have the mouse control how the turret on top moves, and have the arrow keys control how the actual tank moves. Sort've like in the Battlefield games, if you've played them.

Sure ? Is there no other way to change the control?

PS: Right blade! That's it what I mean.
Ok, Balde what's your solution for my problem?
Thx in advance.

I believe then there is no way to make the top part move just by the mouse without making it a seperate position like the AAT, or whatever the cis tank is. You can to my knowledge however, have the tank's move ments be soley controlled by the arrow keys or W, S, A, D, and that is by making A and D control the X axis of the vehicle, which is under the options menu.

Yep, the turret has to be a separate position to work. Unfortunately you can't just have a pilot and let him move the turret too. You need two guys.

I know that this isn't exactly what he's thinking, but how do things like the head of the AT-ST work? They can at least begin turning before the main body follows it. I think that's about all you could (potentially) do .

Right! I am working on it.

This idea must work
I swear that I will find a solution

Hooray, I'm part of a solution finally, and not part of the problem . Anyway, I think that will (mostly) work.

I stand corrected

Yay, I win! Finally...

Success! It works!
