Yuvia Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Ok here is a question This is my first time touching the old republic, is this control like this, you use your keyboard to move around, and you cant move around the camera with the mouse? What I mean is like normal mmo, when you move to the left with the mouse, the camera will go to the left, and so on I checked the preferences in game, in the control section, cant find anything there. I mean bioware games wasnt like this.... If anyone have a solution for this let me know.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastor Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Hold down the left mouse button and move your mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-mot Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 you dont have to use your keyboard to move around. toggle autorun on (i think mousebutton 5 by default) and hold the right mousebutton to control the direction you move in by moving the mouse. hold the left mousebutton and you will control the camera with your mouse movement.

Yuvia Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 actually what i meant, is like the normal mmorpg camera feature, but i guess it will never happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastor Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 actually what i meant, is like the normal mmorpg camera feature, but i guess it will never happen What normal MMORPG camera feature are we talking about? SWTOR has a similar camera system to other MMOs that I'm aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygdrasel Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) What normal MMORPG camera feature are we talking about? SWTOR has a similar camera system to other MMOs that I'm aware of. Every other MMO uses the mouse to control the camera by moving the cursor in the desired direction, not the arrow keys. I actually found this thread while looking for a way to do exactly that because the camera system SWTOR uses is moronic.

Bammur Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Run with the W, turn your view or yourself, by using the left or right mouse buttons. Left and right together also allow you to run and turn, but not to swing the camera at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkaway Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 AFAIK, TOR's camera controls are exactly the same as WoW's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuasar Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 there smart camera ..yes its not the best...apply benchmarking and take the one from wow thats a pretty good smart camera for my oppinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik_kinobe Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Movement he's referring to is going forward using the arrow key and controlling direction using mouse. It's a much more fluid way of controlling character imo. Sure, you can hold left/right mouse buttons and move that way. It's more aggravating than anything, but will work with what we got. Hopefully Devs can look into this...cause i'm sure this ipart of the game is aggravating the @#$% out of many subscribers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillen Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 AFAIK, TOR's camera controls are exactly the same as WoW's. The only difference is you can't turn your camera around and make it stay there while running. It will snap back behind you as soon as you release left click. WoW has an option to turn that off.

You just have to right click. You aren't saying you want the camera to always face the way your mouse is without right clicking do you?
