Hi folks - I recently posted this question but it has now been locked.

I need to disable the ability to run using the shift key - anyone any ideas?

3Com had suggested using enabledshift=0 in the .ini file but that fails to work

Anyone have any ideas relating to this question?

I am really desperate to address this; does any one have any ideas or indeed any pointers on what I can do through Lua to alter the players speed?

Are you looking to completely disable running, or just change the speed? The speed can be changed by left-clicking on the player start marker, and going into the properties menu.

Hi Nathan, I appreciate your reply - I just want one speed for the player - I don't want the ability to run - if there was a speed Lua command I could set it to equal the walk speed on a keypress of shift but sadly I don't see such a lua command.

Changing speed in the player properties will only change the walk speed.

you could give the player a limited sprint so that they won't be able to simply sprint around the entire map for free.

Thanks smallg - it works but visually its not ideal - used the principle though and I just freeze the player when pressing the sprint key - so it kinda works ok.

Hi there,

If you want to disable the left shift key, for any reason, and no longer make the player run during the game play, below you have a quick solution.

Before making any changes in the setup.ini file, it's wise and recommended, you save a backup copy of the original file, just in case, something goes wrong.

Having said that.

In the path "..\Steam\steamapps\common\Game Guru\setup.ini", you will find the file named 'setup.ini'. Next, open it up with the notepad or notepad++, or another similar program.

After that, scroll down the page until its end. In [GAMEPROFILE] section, at the bottom of the page, you will find the variable, keyRUN = 42. Following, change the number from 42 (Left Shift) to 54 (Right Shift). Finally, save your changes.

It's done! Now, if you want to make the player run, during the game play, you should click on the Right Shift Key.

Have fun!

Better still change it to keyRUN = 1

That's the Esc key ..... pressing that simply escapes the game so that kind of makes it disabled

thanks for the help guys really appreciated.
I resolved it very simply with the following code, if the player presses shift and holds it he slowly grinds to a halt:
