new, need help
« on: September 22, 2006, 05:01:56 pm »
I'm new and I can't figure out the controls in game.  The tutorial says right click a target for options or whatever...but, my mac mouse has only one button! How can I do that? Also pressing the shift key while moving, does NOT make my character run.  I am really in need of help, being a new mac user and a new player of Planeshift.   ???

You can set all of the controls from the options menu, including designating a key (such as Control) to act as a right-click. Unfortunately, this doesn't work for shortcuts. However, I'd recommend you simply get a multi-button mouse. They're not that expensive, and they're really helpful. :)

Get one of these:

...okay, the link shows the wireless version, but it is also available in the standard and familiar USB connector version to plug into the Apple Keyboard.

Solves all issues with 3-button and 2-button applications :)
