Time for action – movement and rotation


Time to have a look at movement, rotation, and navigating around the editor.

Navigation

Buttons used to navigate around UDK.

UDK

These are your primary keys for navigating and rotating using the editor:

  • Left Mouse Button (LMB): pan right/left/forward/backward movements

  • Right Mouse Button (RMB): rotate, look around

  • LMB+RMB: up/down

WASD key navigation

The following are other forms of primary keys for navigating and rotating around the editor:

  • Click and hold RMB. As you hold it, use the WASD keyboard keys to move around as you would in a first person shooter game.

  • WASD movement is great if you are familiar with hammer source mapping.

MAYA users

If you are familiar with Maya, the following will be your primary keys for navigating and rotating around the editor.

  • Hold down the U key

  • U+ LMB: rotate, look around

  • U+ RMB: forward/backward movements

  • U+ MMB: right/left/up/down movements
