keybinds not working

[ianmoon]

I had to update phas for the update; when I joined up my controls were normal, except for my grab button. I had it set to left-mouse click, but it was set to E. When I go to options and keybinds to reset it, I cannot change it back to LMC. Very frustrating fo sho bo.

happening to me as well :(

Same here. I came here looking to see what was going on. I'm assuming the issue is because you have to click on it to change the controls and it is confusing the action with the player clicking to request a change still, instead of setting the change. Really annoying because I'm not sure how to report it and in the mean time I'm struggling to get used to new controls. Controls I shouldn't have to get used to if it let me change it.

Same - this happened once before and they gave it back. Now they have taken it away again. I can't play, just get to watch everyone else have fun with the Halloween event.

HOW TO ASSIGN LEFT MOUSE BUTTON LMB TO GRAB THINGS:

I just could not accept that this was disabled by the last patch, so wrote a short script with the scripting language AutoHotkey to bypass this.

My script is simple, I assigned grabbing things to key "k". My script does following, when you click LMB it detects if the current active app is the Phamophobia.exe, and if this is true it sends LMB and k press at the same time, two buttons at the same time. So you can grab, but also click in menus. I tested it and it works great. The AutoHotkey script:

#SingleInstance force
#IfWinActive ahk_exe Phasmophobia.exe
LButton::
SendInput, k
SendInput, {LButton}
return

Thaht's it! "LButton" is the LMB Left Mosue Button.

If you have another letter assigned for grabbing, change the k in the script with your letter. l, o, g or whatever. OR leave the script as it is and change grabbing in Phasmophobia simply to k.

Copy the six script lines from above, open Editor/Notepad. Just open start menu and in search field search for editor or notepad.

Paste the copied code there. Save file, in the file save dialog, select under file types "all files", give your name and at the end file extension .ahk

I.e. myfilename.ahk or Phasmo_LMB.ahk

To run this script while gaming, you need the AutoHotkey Runtime. Go to google, search for AutoHotkey, go to the AutoHotkey Website (first google result), to downloads and then version 1.1. Not version 2, my script is written in 1.1. During install choose custom installation, then 32-bit unicode. May restart Windows.

Run your script with doubleclick, when it's running it should have a tray icon with a huge H. After gaming, you can close it with right click on the tray icon.

Don't forget to assign k for grabbing in Phasmophobia OR change the letter k in the script to your assignment in Phasmophobia.

With my solution door opening/closing didn't work.
New working script:

#SingleInstance force
#IfWinActive ahk_exe Phasmophobia.exe
~*LButton Up::
SendInput, k
return
