How to Use Controller Mode for Top-Down Combat
Enabling Controller Mode and Auto-Targeting
If you prefer playing with a gamepad rather than a mouse and keyboard, the mod provides dedicated controller features designed for top-down action:
1. Connect your controller and enable controller mode in the mod settings.
2. Move into combat encounters; controller mode activates auto-targeting for nearby enemies, locking your focus onto threats without requiring precise manual cursor placement.
3. Use the controller's analog sticks to control smooth 360-degree camera rotation around your character while fighting.
Managing Character Movement in Battle
Controller mode replaces standard directional snapping with fluid movement mechanics:
- Analog Movement: Move your stick gently or fully in any direction for smooth, responsive character maneuvering through crowded battlefields.
- Decoupled Looking: The mod separates head and body movement, so your hero can face and target approaching threats while strafing or retreating in another direction.
- Combat Mod Support: Controller mode and top-down targeting function smoothly alongside visual and magic combat mods without camera hitches or display glitches, letting you cast spells and swing weapons without losing your perspective.
