Several months ago I stumbled on an auto run function and I come to use it again...... Ive forgotten what key it is. Any one know?

For those unsure of auto run... Its a case of pressing a key and you move in the direction your facing, you can then release the keyboard and you will continue to move forward. A friend told me it was lag :P But you tend not to control lag ^^

Many thanks

I've never seen that before, though I've heard it requested more than once..

Sure your keyboard didn't just need a good cleaning, falney? :)

Sounds like a lot of work. If I need to run more than a few steps, I just Teleport.

No :P I know about that as well as pressing space to run even faster... Even if you have always run on you still have to keep a finger on the w key or the up curser. I mean releasing the keyboard... Taking your fingers off the keys and still move :/

Its perplexing me! And really doing my head in that I cant remember what it was!

I never knew that feature existed until a couple nights ago when a few of us were playing I Am Legend. My zombie friends were hauling butt after uninfected humans and I was all, "How the heck are you moving so fast?"

There is a more general version of that you can turn on, Client>UI>Double-Click-Auto-Pilot. Kind of a brain dead feature, but OK if there are no obstacles.

Just playing with autopilot on a Linden road, I came across two avatars, standing still in the street, not talking or anything. One is wearing two of those hippiepay boxes :confused:

No... Not sim crossings..... I turned it off and couldn't remember how I turned it on.... Maybe I broke SL rather than finding a function no one knows about.... SL broken... Thats new! *smirks*
