Contents

[edit] Explore the world

In Ashes of Phoenix you will explore the city of Phoenix and the desert around it. Time to discover how to move and configure your view.


[edit] Move

To move your character you simply use the right click of your mouse. As soon as you have clicked on a slot that is not hindered with obstacles, your character will start to run towards it, taking the shortest route.

Some other keys are usefull for moving:

  • "," allows you to stop and rotate your character.
  • "Shift + click" allows you to walk instead of running. Good for minefield\sneaking.

[edit] Exit grid

The main way to leave the location and enter the world map is to set your foot onto exit grid tiles.

With the brown exit grid you will exit towards the wilderness, or come back from it.

Exit green.png

With the green exit grid you will enter another map.

[edit] Camera

Move camera : Use the arrow keys of the keyboard or move mouse to the edge of the screen to move the camera.

Zoom : Press "z" key and scroll to zoom (or hold "z" and press "Pg up\dwn"). Your camera will never be able to see outside of a map's border so you will not be able to unzoom if your camera is stuck in a map border.

[edit] View

In AoP you have to manage your sight of view. It is important to know what you can or can't see when you are in-game.

Line green.png

Line of sight : Use the Q key to show/hide the line of sight. This green line, influenced by your perception, area at where your character physically looks at and obstacles show you the area you see. If someone is outside this area you will not see him.


Line white.png

weapon maximum efficiency line : When you have a weapon, use the W key to display the white line. This will show you the area where you have maximal hit chance.


Line red.png

weapon maximum range line : When you have a weapon, use the W key to display the red line. This will show you the maximum range of your weapon.


Line spread.png

weapon spread cone : When you use shotgun or burst mode not all of your bullets will follow the same direction. Press Ctrl to display the spread cone ; any of your friends inside that zone will get hurt if you shoot! If you will left-click while holding Ctrl with a weapon capable of showing said cone, you will shoot blindly in that direction. This is very effective to shoot through smokes for example.


[edit] Interact with the world
