📋 About This Mod
Attack Direction Control Mounted
Adds two new input commands, VehicleAttackLeft and VehicleAttackRight. Using either of these will override the auto-targeting when doing mounted attacks and force the attack in their respective directions. The original VehicleAttack continues to work as before.
Usage instructions: In order to use the new commands, you must bind them in the "Documents/The Witcher 3/input.settings" file. I've bound my gamepad's Y button to VehicleAttackRight, and X to VehicleAttackLeft by going to both the and sections and setting the buttons as follows (They are originally both assigned to VehicleAttack, you want to replace those with these):
IK_Pad_Y_TRIANGLE=(Action=VehicleAttackRight) IK_Pad_X_SQUARE=(Action=VehicleAttackLeft)
Do that, and you can do this.
Do note that it's awkward to sprint with A and attack with Y but sacrifices must be made in the name of progress goofy horseback dances. Or maybe you've got a better control scheme with sprint or attack on the L/Rs I don't know.
This mod gives players control over the direction of mounted attacks, addressing a common frustration in combat. With 44 endorsements and 357 downloads, it's a niche utility for mounted combat enthusiasts. Last updated in 2017, it remains a simple solution for a specific gameplay issue.
