Flying (moving up and down)
You'll need to use the keyboard to fly up and down. The (plus) key moves you up, and
the (minus) key moves you back down again. Press the plus/minus keys on the numberpad, not
the dash or the =/+ key. You can hold these keys down to keep moving up or down, and you
can use them in combination with CTRL to move faster or the SHIFT key to move through
objects.
Using the plus key turns off gravity until you touch the ground again. While gravity is
off, you can continue to fly up or down until your feet touch the ground again. Press the
minus key until you touch in order to turn gravity off. While you're in Fly mode, you'll
notice that you'll coast more before coming to a stop in either the horizontal or vertical
direction. If you want to come to a sudden stop, you can press the "5" key (the
"Stop key") in the centre of the numberpad.
Keyboard modifiers
Several keys on the keyboard have additional effects when used in conjunction with the
primary movement keys:
- Moving faster - CTRL
To move faster with either the mouse or the keyboard, hold down the CTRL (Control) key
while you're moving.
- Moving through objects - SHIFT
If an object is in front of you, it will stop you from moving forward. Likewise, an
object behind you, on top of you or underneath you also blocks movement. To move through
an object, just hold down the SHIFT key while you're moving. If you move through objects
with SHIFT, you won't set off any Bump trigger that object might contain. See Actions for
details.
- Moving sideways - SHIFT
Using the SHIFT key along with the left or right arrow will cause you to
"slide" sideways.
- Put on the brakes - "5" on the numberpad
Press the "5" key in the centre of the numberpad to come to an immediate
stop. This is useful when trying to position yourself very precisely.
