What is this "EVADE" thing I have to learn about?

[ozbossman17]

I am new to this whole world in both ways:
The game and what things mean.

EVADE.
I am at the start of a "sub-mission" where the walls are sliding left/right and I have toevade them using the "C" key.
This is known because it tells me to evade things with the "C" key.
The first two I can kind of do/get past but I fear/think it is more luck than knowing what I am doing.
If I just use the "C" key, I am killed every time.
If I use the "C" and the 'space bar' (to jump) I get through the first two.

Now, I get it that pressing a/the "C" key is a LOT easier than some convoluted key combination to do magic stuff to get past something.

BUT WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED EVADE?

Anyway: I get past the first two them am told I have to use the "space bar" and the "C" to fly and evade.

Brilliant!
I keep missing the jump and falling down.
What trick am I missing?

i always change it from c to Mouse thumbs

[ozbossman17]

Ok, but is there a trick to getting past this sub-mission and evading the sliding walls where there is no floor?

I used the keyboard only to get through this area. It takes three consecutive keystrokes in rapid presses to run, jump, and fly to cross the gap. It took me many tries to do so but I just stayed with it until I made it. Assign keystrokes or mouse settings you're most comfortable with.

[ozbossman17]

Ok, thanks.
So if I have a keyboard with extra keys, could I assign a macro to one of those extra keys so I run, jump and evade?

[fishcandy]

Not sure but you could try it. It was some time ago but I believe my three keystrokes were F, space, and C that worked for me...took me numerous attempts but I got it.

[ozbossman17]

`F`` `Space` and `C`

Ok, thanks. I would have thought it would have been `W` `Space` and `C`.
W for walk forward. (ASWD).

I guess it can't/won't hurt me trying both.

I thought `F` was reserved for special stuff like Fast travel, or interaction with objects.

e·vade
VERB
escape or avoid, especially by cleverness or trickery:
"friends helped him to evade capture for a time" · "he tried to kiss her, but she evaded him"

[ozbossman17]

Thanks Invader Zim.
I was more wanting to know it's function in the game.

Yes, it allows me to escape or avoid the enemy.
But it was/is badly applied (IMO) in this scenario.

[fishcandy]

I don't use typical WASD for movement but pretty much use unconventional keystrokes for mapping of my games. Just map your keys to what works best for you.

[ozbossman17]

Yes, fishcandy, but I need to know WHICH keys to map.
It was said it is F C and "space bar" when it is W C and "space bar"

Slightly different results if I use the wrong combination.

[fishcandy]

For me I used....F = forward, Space-bar = jump and C = evade. If I remember correctly the sequence is, run forward and jump when your near the ledge, and pres evade to fly across. It was so long ago when I played this part so it could be W C and space-bar like you said. Again map your keys in such a way that is most comfortable. For the most part you don't have to use the assigned keys the game sets by default. Change them up if you need too and try different sequences,

[ozbossman17]

I worked out the keys - thanks.
I got through that one but I don't think I passed all the tests. Oh well.
