T- is also used after you kill animals to crush the pelts off of them lol...    It took forever to finally figure this out...very unintuitive...   but to acquire pelts you have to use the T key on ur dead animal and it will not always give you a pelt and not every animal has a pelt..

[Shiz]

stop out that pelt son!

I need change some controls for the build system be activated?

 

Nothing is working [snap system]. I can not move the objects before of put.

[d4n1ch]

Snapping doesn't work for me either. Can't even pickup object by "space" despite the turned on building mode 1 or 2. Can't pick up object after it was placed.

[ShadowWalker]

 A foundation will solve some of these issues.

[frunction]

Is it possible to use middle mouse like previous Arma games to open inventory and loot rather than using a key to open inventory while looking at objects?

[MGT_Dazza]

to build you need to charge up your building power by being in a vehicle.

[wompitch]

I cant seem to rotate or change the height of objects I am placing. What am I doing wrong?

[B_Dubz TwitchTv]

You need to place the building part down first. Then you enable build mode. Look at the item and then press spacebar. You should then be able to maneuver and use the build controls. If there is server lag, spacebar wont work for a while until the lag passes, that is from my personal experience. Not sure if that is what you or other people are encountering as well.

How to place a build item you've take with spacebar ?

 

I'm building a wall, place it with 4, then i take it with spacebar, and i can rotate it, move it up / down etc... but i can't figure out how to place it :/

 

I've try 4, SpaceBar, T, ESC, enter, all does nothing.

 

So i've to logout to re-login and see it on the ground not placed :/

 

Any help ?

According to the controls list, you should press 4 again but it may be bugged for you at that time or something.

Is there any way to customize these keys? I rearrange everything and always have and "T" is currently assigned to reloading. I tend to use "esdf" instead of "wasd". I mean I can unbind that key from Reload(which is what I've been using in ARMA and move it on my keypad, but switching to a different key would be easier. Is it set up as one of the custom keys and if so what is what?

[BioHazard050]

Hmm, I have my controls set up like Arma 2. T is the throw key for me.  :blink:

Yeah i'm using Arma 2 controls too and i'm a bit confused. I can loot chairs etc easy with mousescroll, but mousescrolling nor T seems to smash up garbage bags for loot. Have you found a way around this?

[Mercules]

I moved my "t" key to where "g" typically is. Turned "g" into reload, moved "hop" to my space button. T is then where "g" would be. I seriously hope they are using the custom controls and I can just reset one of those to a particular key and be done with it. :)

I can place the object with 4, but after that if I enable building mode and press spacebar looking at the item, it won't do anything.

[vbawol]

 You need energy to use the other build modes.

[LunatikCH]

same here, if i builded a floor then pick it up with space then snap it to the other floor and then pressed 4 again and it will fall on the ground when my energy was 0 or if i moved my mouse...

[digdoug]

can i rebind the T and H  or is it hard coded? cause im a lefty and remapped all my keys to the Numeric keypad.

[vbawol]

You will be able to change this and all keys in the 0.2 patch. We have it already setup backend wise just need to make the UI for changing them.

[SPAZ#]

That's awesome!! Thanks you! Any ETA to when the 0.2 patch will go live? No rush just wondering.

[SATurn]

Also left Ctrl + i upgrades walls

this is great news. thank you 

[Mercules]

Thank you Mr. AWOL!

I had the same problem with T since I use Arma 2 key bindings.
I've remapped the throw action to Left Shift + T so I stopped throwing grenade at my feets when looting trash LOL!  :lol:

 

And T works perfectly... I've read someone has problems with it not working with arma 2 settings, but it works perfectly with me.
The only problem was that it was bound both to loot trash/corpses AND throw.
