help with controll settings

[nardo]

Hello, is it possible to use the mouse wheel in CloD as a zoom? I'd like to also use the joystick hat switch to move the pilot's head to the sides, forwards and backwards as I have it in BoX. So far I haven't found a way to do so...

Thanks for all suggestions in advance.

No, CloD controls don't recognize mouse wheel axis as command.

 

Zoom (zoom camera) is assigned for mouse Y axis plus a modifier key/button, default assignment is "mouse left" (button). See note in (1).

 

Then, press mouse left and move mouse back and forth, this result in a somewhat awkward "zoom".

 

(1) Note - This default assignment of modifier for  mouse Y axis in "mouse left" (button) cause an conflict in gunner turrets, because "mouse left" are assigned for "fire current weapon (of turret), then when you press "mouse left" for fire machines guns you are not able to move aim anymore, because game expected that you intend... "zoom camera". 

 

BTW - In Options > Controls > Camera the names of commands for "zoom camera" and "offset camera" are inverted in between, case you want change assignments:

 

 

This confusion   is an typical "It's CloD!", what dev's don't bother in fix this in default assignments, when pointed ~7 years ago.  

 

EDIT - In CloD if you don't use TrackIR you are very limited/restricted in POV control. As "workaraound" I use Joy2key mouse emulation in joystick HAT, an achieve this, included "zoom"and "offset":
