The player and first-person movement
Choose whose eyes you see through, set how fast they walk and turn, and learn the keys.
Who the player is
When you add a 3D level, NutHouse adds a sprite called Player and gives it First-person (3D levels) movement. On the map it shows as a blue arrow. When you play, the screen shows what the Player sees.
You can use any sprite as the player. Select it, open How it moves in the Movement section and choose First-person (3D levels). The green banner then says: โIn 3D levels you see through its eyes: โ โ to walk, โ โ to turn.โ
The keys
| โ โ | Walk forward and backward. |
|---|---|
| โ โ | Turn left and right on the spot. |
| Shift + โ โ | Step sideways, if Hold Shift to step sideways is ticked. |
| Space | Opens the door in front of you. |
These are the Player keys for Player 1. Change them under Player keys in the Whole game section. See Player keys.
What the settings mean
| Walking speed | How fast the player walks. New players start at 40. |
|---|---|
| Turning speed | How fast the view spins when you press โ or โ. Lower is calmer. |
| Hold Shift to step sideways | Lets you slide left and right without turning. Handy for peeking round corners. |
