[2020] AskAuraxis - The weekly question thread | Planetside Dev Tracker

Hello and welcome to AskAuraxis the weekly thread for any of your Planetside related questions.

Feel free to ask any question about anything to do with Planetside and don't be scared if you think it may be stupid.
The main aim of this is that: no question should go unanswered so if you know the answer to someone's question, speak up!
Try and keep questions somewhat serious, this is not really the place for sarcastic or rhetorical questions.
We are not DGC, we can't answer questions that should be directed to them.
Remember if you're asking about guns etc. to say your faction and if you're asking about outfits to specify the server as well.
Sorting by new helps the questions less likely to be seen get answered. You can now do this temporarily using RES.
Have fun!

Special thanks to /u/flying_ferret who originally created this series.

You can bind anything to the control key in-game. Pretty sure I set one of my push-to-talk keys to control at one point in the past. Maybe the 'disable indicator interactions' default can be unbound, and cannot be rebound? This was added the same time as construction, and the new controls for manipulating construction objects originally had some hard-coded keybinds that didn't play nice if you rebound wasd to something different (eg: I use esdf). /u/db_zant

I suspect you're correct and you clobbered this keybind when you had your push-to-talk bound to the ctrl key. I'm not sure why it isn't appearing in the list of keybinding options in the settings, but it's something I can look into tomorrow.

In the meantime, I have a few workarounds that might be able to help you out: First, It looks like either left or right control will allow you to click through allies on the minimap. If you haven't bound anything to your right control key give it a try and see if that works for you.

If not, you can try fiddling with your keybind file in the PlanetSide install directory (mine is C:\Users\Public\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\PlanetSide 2). If you have a shortcut on your desktop just right click > open file location and it should take you to the directory. Once there, follow these instructions:

Close out your game.
Locate InputProfile_User.xml and open it up in a text editor.
Save a backup copy to your desktop. If things go wrong and you blow up your keybinds just replace the file in the install directory with the backup.
In the text editor, search for "MapToggleIndicatorInteraction". This is the action set that allows you to click through allies.

Mine look like this:


    
        Control_Left
        Control_Right

Just match your action up to look like mine and you should be good to go.
