This is a nice idea. Won't have time to test for a couple of days but on a quick look around I found this to get the idea rolling :

Code: Select all

<set_value name="$MouseSteeringWasOn" exact="player.input.mousesteering.permanent"/>

and

Code: Select all

<check_value value="not player.input.controller"/>
                        <check_value value="player.input.mousesteering.permanent" exact="$MouseSteeringWasOn" negate="true"/>

from Plot_ep1_ch1.xml

These might be read only values of course but at least it demonstrates how to check if mouse steering is on when you enter the highway.

EDIT : from properties.xml, in player definition :

Code: Select all

<property name="input.controller" result="true if player is using the controller, false if using keyboard/mouse (this value can change!)" type="boolean" />
    <property name="input.mousesteering" result="true if player is playing in mousesteering-mode, false otherwise (this value can change!)" type="boolean" />
    <property name="input.mousesteering.permanent" result="true if player is playing in permanent mousesteering-mode, false otherwise (this value can change!)" type="boolean" />

Hi All

I asked the same sometime back about this i hate the mouse steering following that stupid ring and was told that it only disabled when you press spacebar then you have no steering i don't know what the game makers were thinking it's not in any other FPS games.

I was told it not there when using some controllers, and on looking at some videos i don't see a steering mouse ring.

I want it gone it's stupid It's misleading your steering and as soon as you get back in the ship if you haven't centered the mouse you find you are spinning wildly or as this post is about entering a highway again if not centered you get bounced out.

You do have steering in highways without mouse steering: WASD buttons on the keyboard still work, for example.

I came up with something after seeing this topic.
