    Ive seen in countless pictures that there will be a dual weilding abilitie with starbound that are used with right or left click. But i am VERY used to using the mouse wheel to scroll through items. will the mouse wheel scroll through both hands? will there be a diffrent way? this might bother me a bit. Please take the time to respond, simple things like these can make a big diffrence ;)

    Shift + scroll for other hand perhaps?

    That's what i was thinking, but alt. but shift seems MUCH better. and we never know. maybe theres no scrolling at all (that would suck though)

    Same reaching over for 9 and 0 is a pain, even with my big hands.

    Nah, Maybe a two fire blast one click = 2 shots from both dualwielded weapons?

    Not what i mean. i meant scrolling to select items in the hotbar.

    If that's the case I really think you'll have the option of postion, through screenshots we have seen different hotbars ;) So we can hopefully expect something along the lines of hotbar customization.

  8. how about LEFTCLICK for LEFT and Right Click for RIGHT
     
  9. oh yea, did we figure out how it worked yet?

    I dont think any news on the Gui has been announced. I dont see anything in the release info thread, unless i skipped over it, but it doesnt seem so.

    Edit:Take it back you use the number keys, but i thought that was a given. 0-9 for left hand and Shift + 0-9 is right hand
     
  11. We can still use the mouse scroll though, right?

    i double checked this time and i dont see anything pertaining to be able to select thing via the mouse, but if i had to guess it will be a feature anyway since its a mechanic the was in terraria, and if not it may go in post release if enough people complain

    Whatever it ends up being, I'll be setting right to my mouse scroll and left to my nostromo scroll :D
    Sniper elite v2 has two weapon wheels - one for equiment, one for dem gunz. Scroll controlled the gunz and z/x scrolled the equipment.
     
  14. As for me, if the system allows it, I'd set left hand on mouse scroll, and the right on the numpad. That way I don't have to let go of my mouse or use my left hand to select stuff o3o

    I'm pretty sure it's press the number key to assign to the left mouse button and hold down a button and then press a number key to assign to the right mouse button.

    I'm suprised people are still responding to this thread 0_o
    Either way i guess ill have to get used to the number system. It's mostly what's come up.

    The mouse scroll is very common and will most likely be used.
    Besides, have you ever played a game with a hotbar where you couldn't mouse scroll. Cause I certainly haven't.

    i think an option would be to press shift or tab to change the selected area of the hotbar.
    like you are on the right side and you can scroll trough it, and the moment you wanna change to the left side you press tab or shift (one-click) and then your cursor will be on that side for you to scroll.
    think about it this way, imagine you are mining, you might have the right click locked to a torch or a flashlight, and have the left side selected for scrolling trough tools, weapons and other items you might need to change a lot more than the flashlight.

    I read this post a couple times trying to get my head around your play style :eek:, i'm assuming you whirl around with your mouse as normal, but kink your thumb out to bash the numpad keys? If so HOW?! That's a talent!
