Auto-Walk!

[Droqen]

I don't know how many people run long distances along straight roads, but I know I do, and I would kill for a way to keep myself walking in a direction. ( Except I don't have murder or rage. I would tresspass for this then. )

Now - I'm not talking about hold to move instead of click.

I'm not talking about pathfinding.

I'm not talking about clicking on the map.

I'm not talking about anything complicated, like auto-following roads.

I want to be able to set my character on a straight line of motion that will continue until interrupted by either me, or an obstacle, such that I can just sit back and watch him walk along the long paved road, hauling his cart behind him.

It'd certainly be nice to just hit an arrow key and head off in a compass direction.

Back then when the map was all grassland, I used to capture a chicken then release it so that I'm facing it to where I'm supposed to go, and finally pick up my cart and try to "capture" it again. Even after the poor fowl was long gone in my sights, I still managed to "autowalk" to my desired destinations.

One such system is used in Ultima 7/8. Holding down the mouse key would be enough to make the character continue in the direction the mouse was to the character.

totally!!!

It's used in WoW as well.

Not only have I asked Loftar to implement this,
but also the ability to move to a position on the minimap.

but also the ability to move to a position on the minimap.

I can't tell you how many times I've clicked on the minimap thinking this should work...
