vagant.inputMap

The one control scheme of First Light: Vagant. Eleven controls, each carrying keyboard, gamepad and touch, so the night is playable on a desktop, on a pad and under a thumb without a second scheme existing anywhere.

Why the names are what they are

move, sprint, jump and look are read BY NAME by the engine's own CharacterController and third_person_follow. Renaming sprint to run would leave the character with no way to run at all, so the control keeps the engine's name and shows the player its label, which is Run.

Why four controls carry no touch class

confirm, back, navigate and restart are menu controls, and on a phone a menu is driven by touching the control you want. An overlay button for them would be a second, unlabelled way to press the button already on screen, and it would spend one of the four slots the night itself is played from. The screens slice draws those controls at a thumb size; this map says so in the record, where a reader sees it.

The four the night is played with

relight and hood render first, largest, and adjacent — they are the two a thumb has to find in the dark without looking, so they share the act group and take the two lowest priority numbers. Run sits above them. Pause is last and smallest, deliberately away from the act cluster, so a thumb reaching for Relight in a hurry cannot stop the game instead.

Shared bindings, and why none of them are ambiguous

Escape is pause and back; south is relight and confirm; north is jump and restart. Each pair is answered in a different phase — pause only while the night runs, back only while a card is up, restart only from an end card — so one key opens the pause card and the same key closes it, and nothing has to be learned twice.

look's gate declares rightButton = "off" because hood binds the right mouse button as a game action: in this world a right-drag pulls the wig down rather than swinging the camera.

Who runs it

The loop slice's GameLoop component activates it, and points the avatar's CharacterController and the camera rig's behaviour at it too, so exactly one scheme is ever live. screens stands the whole player group down with its own ui map while a card is open.
