Keyboard remapping

How can I remap the keyboard controls for it to use the WASD buttons instead of the up, right, down, left buttons?

I tried editing the keyboard.inputmap.cs file but it didn't work.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

I edited the file like this:

Code:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////// Keyboard mappings
// keyboard
//moveMap.bind(keyboard, w, accelerate);
//moveMap.bind(keyboard, s, brake);
//moveMap.bind(keyboard, a, steer_left);
//moveMap.bind(keyboard, d, steer_right);


moveMap.bind( keyboard, a, moveleft );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, d, moveright );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, w, moveforward );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, s, movebackward );


moveMap.bind( keyboard, left, steer_left );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, right, steer_right );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, up, accelerate );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, down, brake );


// shifting
moveMap.bind( keyboard, lshift, clutch );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, x, shiftUp);
moveMap.bind( keyboard, z, shiftDown);
moveMap.bind( keyboard, q, toggleShifterMode );


$np_movespeed = 0.1;
// camera/numpad
function np_x(%val)
{
   if(%val > 0)
   {
      $mvYawLeftSpeed = %val * $np_movespeed;
      $mvYawRightSpeed = 0;
   }
   else
   {
      $mvYawLeftSpeed = 0;
      $mvYawRightSpeed = -%val * $np_movespeed;
   }
}
function np_y(%val)
{
   if(%val > 0)
   {
      $mvPitchDownSpeed = %val * $np_movespeed;
      $mvPitchUpSpeed = 0;
   }
   else
   {
      $mvPitchDownSpeed = 0;
      $mvPitchUpSpeed = -%val * $np_movespeed;
   }
}

Code:

// keyboard
//moveMap.bind(keyboard, w, accelerate);
 //moveMap.bind(keyboard, s, brake);
 //moveMap.bind(keyboard, a, steer_left);
 //moveMap.bind(keyboard, d, steer_right);

Instead of that do this

Code:

moveMap.bind(keyboard, w, accelerate);
 moveMap.bind(keyboard, s, brake);
 moveMap.bind(keyboard, a, steer_left);
 moveMap.bind(keyboard, d, steer_right);

The // Comments it out, So it doesn't read it. For example

Code:

// This comment line will be ignored
// This second line will also be ignored
%testVariable = 3;
// This third line will also be ignored

Ah, thank you.

Edit: Now I edited that in the file and I tested it out, the car won't drive forward when I hit W or up.

 

Copy this from code below and replace with your inputmap (but don't replace all lines!):

Code:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////// Keyboard mappings// keyboard
//moveMap.bind(keyboard, w, accelerate);
//moveMap.bind(keyboard, s, brake);
//moveMap.bind(keyboard, a, steer_left);
//moveMap.bind(keyboard, d, steer_right);

moveMap.bind( keyboard, left, moveleft );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, right, moveright );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, up, moveforward );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, down, movebackward );

moveMap.bind( keyboard, a, steer_left );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, d, steer_right );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, w, accelerate );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, s, brake );

Restart game and it should work.

 

It worked! thanks man, I REALLY appreciate it!
