Rincewind Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I've only just started to play around with the new pause screens and when I added a new keyboard button for the pause screen to work I thought I would look in the Keyboard Automation options and saw there were also a place there to add a key. So what's the difference between the two and is there an advantage to one over the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallmachine Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 would like to know also as I'm confused about the entire concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Seems if I add "p" as the button used for pause in either places it works the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you left the global button empty but assigned a hold and pause key in keyboard automation you need to hold a key then press another to activate the pause. At least that would be my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Seemed too only let me choose one key, but I'll fire the cab up and try again. It would make sense and be really handy as I've run out of buttons on the controls ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is correct. Keyboard automation works the same as controller automation, and requires the hold key pressed before the pause key will work. If you simply bind a key to the pause key, it will always work with just that key (while games are running). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've been there a long time ago, but apparently it wasn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Controller automation will exit the game as soon as you use it, rather than having to close the pause screen then firing the close command. So the same exit with automation that has been there for years now, set a combo and use it rather than gong into a screen you dont need to.
