Issue 50: Spearhead Movement controls
Project Member Reported by srpli...@gmail.com, Aug 21, 2010
Just like the other LFOs if the Ctrl key is not pressed down the spearhead will be in constant motion. 

The movement keys no longer make you turn they simply change the direction of propulsion.

The change is instant

W - prop foward
S - prop backward
A - prop left (flying sideways while still upright [strafing])
D - Prop right(flying sideways while still upright [strafing])

Q = fly up
E - fly down

(Q/E) can be combined with any of the WASD controls to move in a direction while going up or down. 

Each movement key (aside from Q/E) cancels out the other. If you are currently moving in W and you press A you will immediately stop moving forward and start moving left.

I belive that this will simulate the movements of the spearhead quite well.

Couple that with some camera changes:
>>> The mouse no longer moves the just the camera. It also turns the LFO in that direction. So the cameras locked behind the LFO and turns it.


Is this possible/ a good idea? If not then I vote for it just being another LFO with the same controls. If the controls are possible but a bit difficult to handle, the I propose some sort of advantage be given to the spearhead like automatic anti missile lasers.

Cer and I already discussed this extensively. I have the logs, but I think he remembers well enough what we figured out.

yeah, and funny enough it's fairly close.
