KEYBOARD LEGEND FOR PC VERSION OF THE GAME
Trigger volumes will determine how the character walks, crouch walks, crawls and will help choose
what the character does if you LMB. In that way you can use same keys like WSAF and LMB for various
different actions.
Character will always reach for something in front of him. So, if you have a choice of items to his
sides and in front of him you need to turn the character first. If its lower or higher than character
it will reach up of bend over to pick up.
