Walking

There are three ways to walk your avatar with the keyboard:

  1. Use the arrow keys.

Double-tap run

If you don't want to always run, you can make your avatar walk or run with use of your arrow keys. Double-tap and hold the up arrow key to run forward. Tap and hold the up arrow key again to walk. This feature gives a more realistic appearance to avatar movement.

To enable double-tap run:

  1. Open the unsupported Advanced menu.
  2. Enable Advanced > Character > Tap-Tap-Hold To Run.
