The Sprint key.

[Odin]

Why is the sprint key a "press to enable" function and not "hold to enable"? During fights I find myself constantly pressing the sprint key to re-enable it as I dodge goons/etc. It'd be much easier to just hold the key and sprint in whatever direction I go.

[Paradox]

Uhh, just make it a trigger bind.

[PHREAK]

How's the trigger bind help there?

[Paradox]

it makes it so on release, you stop sprinting.

[Odin]

Since when is that an option?

[Paradox]

I remember that there was some variable set command that did it, but maby it was for a different engine.

[David]

for moveing and stuff thay put a + infront of the command. try that.

[Neckhole]

Can someone explain the difference between chosing the "Always Run" option in the menus and the sprint button described in this email?  It's a bit confusing.

3 speeds. walk, run, and sprint. sprint is only for humans, and uses stamina (like jumping)
holding shit toggles weather you walk or run. walking is silent, allowing you to sneak up on people without radar, or hide the sound of your bsuit

is it? I use it as "hold to enable" and have absolutely NO TROUBLE with stamina/sprint

Well, that's how it is. If you'll notice, when you're running, just press the sprint key once and you'll continue sprinting until you stop moving in that direction.

[Henners]

As sprint is stamina based like jumping it works until you stop moving in the direction you begin sprinting in. Hence you cant keep sprinting throughout a fight where you keep strafing backwards and forwards, you'll burn through your 3 stamina points in seconds.

yeah, I'm dyslexic, and i type faster than i can (oxymoron?)
i use Google spell check most of the time but it doesn't get that sort of stuff

[LAMAK]

LOL.There's a sprint key?

[Aninhumer]

Well I didn't know for several days of playing that there was a stamina meter, I kept thinking that there were bugs with the jumping code  :roll:

Anything to dodge that last Goon pounce.

if you hold your shit too long you have to sprint, but only to the bathroom.

[kozak6]

It took me a few weeks to find out that there was a sprint.

Much like the Mass Driver scope.

*sigh*

[David]

i, on the other hand, read the manual, and knew all if this before i first played

this is so true. After several months of playing trem I found out about the sprint key (and yes, I did read the manual beforehand! Must have escaped my notice somehow    ) come to think of it, when I'm a human, almost nobody uses the sprint key and I find myself wizzing past other players. I wonder how many people actually know it exists? I told my brother (pacra), who introduced me to the game, about it, and he looked at me and said "There's a SPRINT key!?"

Me - "The mass driver has a SCOPE!??"

[PIE]

I always look for sprint/run/crouch/zoon before I start playing.. I only really use zoom and crouch though.. I've started using walk a bit as well when i'm in Bsuit and coming up to a door... aliens just don't expect that at all.

Cant wait for firefox 2.0 and its super spellcheck.

I didn't know the sprint key makes you run until you press x again. I always hold down x the whole time... maybe that's why I'm sometimes slow.
Oh yeah, did you know that if you run toooo much, you black out? It is sooooo awkward.

Yeah, I found that out the other day! I was doing constant running and killing missions on the alien base, not stopping, and then my run slowed to a crawl, then to a near stop, and my gun bobbed up and down like my hummie was really panting hard, and the next thing I know, the edges of my screen start turning black.

Of course I stopped moving and recovered, but it was weird. That was the first and so far only time it happened to me.

[Stof]

Running until you blackout is akward. Especialy considering there is no point in running when you are out of stamina

Also, for those who know that there is a sprint key, do you know there is a walk key too? You might ask, what use is that?

Well, I found 2 good uses for that one :
- when walking you get back your stamina, at the same rate as when you are still I think. So, on your way to the alien base, walk a little to restore your missing stamina instead of staying still
- when waling, you do not produce walk sounds. And I really mean NO WALK SOUNDS at all. It includes the infamous noisy basilisk walk and the "I could hear you from the other side of the level" battlesuit walk sounds

[MtS]

IIRC when walking you regain stamina slower than when standing still.

Walking when crouching forward is a good idea too  since it won't slow you down but you regain stamina.
