Examine action key

Post by Calidorn »

You know you can press a certain key to check out hidden stuff , that function is no longer working in my game.I know about the 'z' key but that only highlights my players and doors. :confused:
Any ideas anybody ?

What sort of hidden stuff are you talking about? The Z key should highlight everything you can interact with.

The 'hidden stuff' I meant is instead of you manually using the cursor to search, you could just press the examine key and it would highlight chests, weapon racks and those sometimes easily missed 'bricks' / and or 'hard to see levers 'that open hidden doors etc
It used to be either the ctrl or alt key that would do this. I've tried using the default key 'z' but it only highlights the characters and normal doors
:(

Not tried it on NWN2 but sometimes the TAB key is used in games to highlight things like that.

Also, have you recently changed anything in your installation, such as add a patch? This could have disabled it.
