Again asking for the change of how mouselook off works on mobile.

Oct 04, 2022 tjgaming8324 link
My suggestion is on mobile to make it so that mouselook off mode also lets the user use the right half of the screen as a joystick; the same as how it is in mouselook on mode

Right now, if we switch to mouselook off from on, the game gives us a tiny joystick on the right side of the screen which is not useful at all.

To clear up any confusion, by mouselook I mean touchlook

This + another upcoming suggestion will allow mobile to compete against pc in a proper way. Right now controls limit us in a lot of things on mobile & it can be better with this & one more small change (upcoming suggestion. Wait till tomorrow)

Last time when I made the post I wasn't good enough at explaining what I want. This one should explain what I want more clearly

So you're looking for a split mode that is neither touchlook nor not touchlook? Wouldn't this fall afoul of the concept of a simple binary toggle?

Perhaps what you mean to ask for is an individual toggle for each side of the screen. So you can have touchlook on one side while having the joystick on the other side.

Based on the way this sort of thing works with PC and toggling mouselook, I'm not certain that it'll just work out of the box, since even PC is one or the other.

He wants the behavior of non-touchlook with a control surface the size of the touchlook input area, with relative control enabled.

It's important to note that there are lot of different sizes and shapes of touchscreen devices (and thumbs), and touch-digitizers that behave differently, and that no one person can express what is going to "useful" or "not useful" for "everyone".

We welcome input and feedback, that's the point of the forum, but it's easier to start from an understanding that you want a particular thing, and not that everyone necessarily wants that.

Like Draugath notes, it would be weird to "disable" a specific feature and have it suddenly become some other hybrid feature, which violates the idea of a binary toggle.

But, having some other type of control model, or option, is certainly a possibility. But we'd need a really clear, complete description of what is desired.

I didn't say it from an everyone perspective but rather from pure pvp perspective.
it's mostly true for everyone though if we consider that most mobile players uses dB fields & not the built in joystick. And also that there are very few dedicated mobile pvp fighters so others mostly just don't realise the need for the suggested change. Or they probably don't even turn mouselook off. Could be many things

I like your idea of another control mode option better than replacing it with joystick. Existing joystick doesn't need to go away.

I don't know how to be clearer than this but what I'm asking for is - Turning controls available for mouselook on mode to also be available for mouselook off mode.
