Another two questions

Post by leontas2007 » Tue Feb 18, 2014 7:08 am

I was reading the overgrowth wiki but didn't found an anwer again.

The first question is how to create paths for npc to make them patrol a territory? I knew that I have to press cmd and left click to spawn sphere then again cmd left click to spawn another and then with alt to link the paths. But now when I press cmd+left click it just spawn an empty box and I can't do anything with it

and the second question:
well I am running tha game on OSX and when I grab them I can't choke them since the mouse has only one button! So....how can I choke them?

Well thanks in advance and sorry for the stupid questions :roll:

I'm not sure why you would ever use a single-button mouse nor what operating system could possibly have to do with that, but you don't need two buttons to choke someone. You just grab them and hold them there until they fall limp. That's all it takes.

Mac has a one mouse button, but I thought that to choke someone I had to press the left click while holding the right. My bad then :D.

EDIT: But still....I can't cut their throats

I really don't think your operating system has anything to do with that. You can use a two-button mouse with Macs and as far as I know most people do.

Yes, but he only has a one-button mouse.
You can do this by pressing Right Shift, but otherwise that's your only way.

You actually do. The one button is used for attacking, not both.

. . . sigh
The person can obviously already grab someone, so obviously he doesn't need two buttons to choke someone. If you can grab them, you can choke them, because when they are grabbed they are already actively being choked.

Oh hey, that word existed.
Also, you're not a tard wrangler, you don't need to sigh at me as if I'm some kind of idiot.
