Hardly.
If a person is using WSAD+mouse and the other is using a gamepad that will NOT work.
Course if the other is using a gamepad, there's really not much you CAN do..
Also, what's the deal with all of these Lua-based mods using terrible RTE names?
Gun.rte
luaguns.rte
LuaFirearms.rte
LuaModules.rte
Module.rte

Can people please make their RTEs unique so there's little chance of overlap? Please?

Gun.rte is just where I dump my mini-mods. Must've forgot to change the .rte name.

That's not a good thing.. Far easier to change the filepaths one time and not worry about anything being dependent on another module that you have that others don't (in this case Gun.rte) so that the mod works for you but not for others..

Similar things happen when you create things in one RTE and call them in another.
People get errors you don't that you can't figure out because you have mods that they don't.

Except that there's no dependency errors between .rtes;

CopyOf = Coalition.rte/Gatling Gun
for example.

New code, jaybud, gotta keep up with the times.

So, wait, creating a gun in one RTE, creating a unit in that RTE and having him carry that gun by default will still work, of course.

But what you're saying is, that the following no longer occurs:
It will still work for you if you move that unit to another RTE, but not for others.

But I'm not seeing it:
All of my RTEs that are codependent still work just fine, so it's certainly not that it now errors out if they're not completely self-contained...
And CopyOf = InstanceName (not Mod.rte/InstanceName or whatever) still works just fine between those above RTEs.

Seriously, what?

mmh, please, no. I am from Germany and our Keyboardlayout is different. That means, our Y would be where your Z is, and our Z is located where youd find the Y. So - basically, for any Player from Germany it would be like pressing Y - which is right next to X and not reachable for Player 2.

Hard to explain my point. Hope you got it anyways.

Z and X = ABSOLUTELY not.

QWERTY = Z and X are right next to each other.

AZERTY = Z is two row above X. Terrible.

How about it's just like, the fire key held down for two seconds or something?

Or use (UInputMan:KeyReleased()) This will detonate it when key "x" is released instead of pressed.
