Alt-X

TheoX · Post by **TheoX** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 5:46 pm

All the time, I hear about pressing Alt-X and then a number to see different views of a level.
Well, it doesn't work for me!

Many times, especially with big levels, I have wanted to see it from a different angle, but "Alt-X" didn't work.
Does anyone know why it wouldn't work?
I've tried all sorts of variations.
It's not too big a deal, but could someone help me?
I don't know if I can be helped, but please try... Thanks

Theo are you using arrow keys on the number pad on the right side of your keyboard? If you hold down the ALT key and the X key at the same time then you can use the number pad keys (4, 6, 8, 2) with the arrows to change how you see the level. Hope this helps!

If you are using a laptop, you have to press the function key then the number lock. Then you use the 7,8,9, u, i, o, j, k, l. J is 1 and so on.

Thanks!

I was using the numbers on top

I didn't know that I should be using the other ones.
I used the "camera" to take an up-close picture of a Kaboom!

(That was in 3D)
Oh, the possibilities

Another thanks!

I have a laptop and have tried the fn num lk with no success, is there something else I should be doing to engage this function? Something in the control panel or elsewhere?

Hey mossykat, I have a laptop, too. On mine, ther is a button with "Fn" on it (stands for function). Then up on the F# keys, one of them looks like a tiny little calculator or number pad. On some laptops it on a F# (Like F11) key, on some it's its own key.

Hold down the FN button and press the hey with the number pad icon. It will turn your keyboard into a numberpad. The numbers should be indicated on the letter buttons themselves somehow.

Just remember when you're ready to start typing regular words to turn the Fn back off or you typing will look like this: He336 06ssycat.

hope it helps. If not, you may need to look at your manual for your laptop for more specific directions.

Loirae,
I don't have anything that looks like a calculator, what I have is
Num Lk which is suppose to do the same thing but doesn't. I think
I just have a screwy computer with a mind of it's own. Thanks for
trying and at least paulm12 has his working now.

I think even with a NumLk key you may also have to hold down a Function or FN button if you have something like that. If there's a light abouve your numLk key, it should turn on if you get the NumLk working.

sorry it's still a problem.
