How to manage your character

Step 1: Controlling your character

To meet characters, take up the numerous challenges in Ryzom, you will have to be familiar with the controls in order to control your character.

Basic movements:

Forward:	As long as you keep the "PAGE UP" key pressed down you will move forward.
Backward:	As long as you keep the "PAGE DOWN" key pressed down: - you will move backwards when using the 1st person camera (i.e. when you see through the eyes of the character). - you will do a half turn and move facing the screen when you are using the 3rd person camera (this view allows you to see your character and his/her environment).
Turn left:	Press the LEFT arrow to turn left.
Turn right:	Press the RIGHT arrow to turn right.

Advanced movements:

Strafe is a movement that enables you to move sideways.

Strafe left:	Keep the LEFT arrow pressed down along with the CTRL key and you will move sideways to the left.
Strafe right:	Keep the RIGHT arrow pressed down along with the CTRL key and you will move sideways to the right.
