Steam Community :: Better Dash (no more double tap)

bad P2P 12 Sep, 2023 @ 8:35am

To those who want to rebind the dash. Open the lua file and find this line:
'if (args.moves["right"] or args.moves["left"]) and args.moves["up"] then'
Afterwards, substitute the up with one of the following:
>left
>right
>down
>run
>jump
>primaryFire
>altFire
>special

thank you for posting this. my keyboard was failing and pressing keys twice for one press so this makes it so i dont dash into a lava pool or something

This is one of the few things that Starbound has over Terraria.

Paprika 24 Oct, 2021 @ 1:16pm

this is a great mod. no more annoying vanilla dash.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IM WALKING ON AIR

I feel I must correct myself, the first dash tech that you get in Frackin' Universe does not work with this mod.The actual dash tech still works just fine.

Hotox [author] 4 Apr, 2019 @ 7:44am

@Technicolor Tyrant This is client side

Slime In A Box 3 Apr, 2019 @ 6:42pm

Frackin' Universe does not like this mod.

Tyrant 3 Apr, 2019 @ 12:46pm

So is this Client-side or server-side? I'd really like to know because I'm playing with a few friends and I can't stand double tapping.

DreamingFandoms 16 Feb, 2019 @ 8:36pm

i'm having Trouble getting it to work, even with trying and rebinding w and it hasn't worked yet.
any tips???

nebulus 23 Jan, 2019 @ 9:05pm

Carpal Tunnel averted - awesome!

RestrictedDruid 15 Sep, 2018 @ 11:16pm

Just installed this mod, had the same reaction: "Why isn't it working? I'm tapping 'w' and a direction" I just went into controls, highlighted "Move Up" and deleted it and "remapped" it to 'w' again. Presto: it's working perfectly! Thank you!

Undercover Arsonist 16 Aug, 2018 @ 8:15am

Thats the thing, I tried remapping w, even though it was mapped to 'move up' before hand, but I did so just to be sure and I honestly have no idea why it's not working for me.

Hotox [author] 16 Aug, 2018 @ 5:51am

Maybe you have the key W unbound?

Hotox [author] 16 Aug, 2018 @ 5:50am

I just tested it with only this mod enabled and it works. I have no idea what the problem could be.

Undercover Arsonist 16 Aug, 2018 @ 1:54am

This is the only tech based mod I have installed, (yes I have double checked, and I also have the 'really no double tap' addon) and yet the mod refuses to work.

Azriel 26 Jul, 2018 @ 1:44am

@Darkblader24 Nope, any mods that do anything with techs only add techs. None of them modify how others function.

Hotox [author] 25 Jul, 2018 @ 1:09pm

@Rhys Yes, you should be able to press W + A/D simultaneously and it should work. Maybe you have other mods installed that change the functionality of the dashes. They are most likely incompatible.

Azriel 16 Jul, 2018 @ 1:32pm

*installs this mod* so sick of having to double tap... especially in the tutorial stage fot the tech... *tries it* just tap "UP" right? So default key should be "W" right? Cause uhm.... yeah.... not working for me :/

martiancat 13 Feb, 2018 @ 10:33pm

Thanks for making this, the developer doesn't seem to care much about this issue. This also fixes the 'giggity giggity' motion your character would make before every dash. I don't get some of the aesthetic choices they made...

Leafia Barrett 27 Dec, 2017 @ 1:10pm

May I integrate the doubletap-killing code into a tech mod I'm making that rebalances techs?

Autumn Clover 26 Aug, 2017 @ 4:53pm

Is it possible to bind the dash button to a different key than up? I'm finding that it conflicts ever so slightly with rocket jump if you want to jump at an angle, since it cancels the jump. I guess that could avoid the space dash conflict too.

TheCarrierPrimoris 20 Jun, 2017 @ 7:53pm

It seems you've delivered exactly what I wanted. Thank you, and may I say, you have one of the darkest blades I've ever seen.

Hotox [author] 20 Jun, 2017 @ 4:19am

Update 1.5.1
Fixed accidentally dashing in space. You now have to use double tap in space!

Hotox [author] 17 Jun, 2017 @ 3:43am

Update 1.5:
Added the extension "Better Dash Extension (really no more double tap)": https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=948763688

Install that mod too to finally get rid of the double tap.

Hotox [author] 17 Jun, 2017 @ 1:52am

@SD8bit
Only the author of that other mod can fix this. He can do this by only modifying the file "dash.tech" . Ask him kindly if he could do that.

@Riitiris
I'll look into it.

SD8bit 16 Jun, 2017 @ 5:32am

Love the mod. I've been using this with "Energy Dash Restoration" by tundra, but it randomly stopped working with it now, any possible fix?

Boatlights 15 Jun, 2017 @ 10:58pm

why is this "(no more double tap)" if you left double tap enabled? Make a version that actually disables this please.. Doctors agree accidental dash related deaths #1 cause of starbound rage.
I'd do it myself but whenever I try to mod my game explodes.

Hotox [author] 9 Jun, 2017 @ 6:15pm

Update v1.4: Updated to Starbound 1.3

Hotox [author] 9 Jun, 2017 @ 12:57pm

@Lampreys for days
Looking into it right now.

@Milosz
How would you like to have the keybindings?

BigBadRat 9 Jun, 2017 @ 7:34am

can you plz make alt key dash mod, or give me advice how can i change it myself?

Null_Error 8 Jun, 2017 @ 6:09pm

Will you be updating this for 1.3? 1.3 changed the way tech keys are used.

AngelRuneEyes 7 Mar, 2017 @ 6:27pm

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BRO is mod MAKE ME THE LIFE MORE EASY

This Guy 19 Jan, 2017 @ 3:47am

Just edited your mod so that there is actually "No Double Tap"
Now I can never accidentally dash off the side of a cliff to my death, trying to inch forward to shoot downward.

Trobador 28 Dec, 2016 @ 10:41am

Perfect, thanks!

Hotox [author] 28 Dec, 2016 @ 10:06am

@Meme Troubadour Yes it is.

Trobador 27 Dec, 2016 @ 9:23am

Is this mod client-side?

SimoonGryphon 13 Sep, 2016 @ 12:17am

@Darkblader24 Cool, I'll try it again. Totally a noob at fishing, so I bet my line was breakin' and I zooped. Thanks for the reply! :D

Hotox [author] 12 Sep, 2016 @ 11:54pm

@SimoonGryphon I tested it and while you are fishing you can't teleport/dash. But as soon the line breaks or you stop fishing you can teleport/dash again. So that shouldn't be a problem. You can also use your left mouse button to catch up the line.

Hotox [author] 12 Sep, 2016 @ 11:25pm

@SimoonGryphon Oh haha I haven't thought about that. I will take a look at this.

SimoonGryphon 12 Sep, 2016 @ 10:52pm

Just putting a note here to let you know, I've had no problem with this mod until I needed to do fishing. Then I kept teleporting when trying to wrangle (angle?) the fish in. :X

♀ OdayakanaArashi 11 Sep, 2016 @ 2:44pm

@Darkblader24
Either that, or Starbound 1.1.0 fucked some shit up..we already have the deselect error again as it also happened in the initial 1.0.0 release.

Hotox [author] 11 Sep, 2016 @ 1:17pm

@That One Hot Furry It should work like before because nothing has changed. It could be that other mods interfere with this mod. I made an update, because the sprint tech got two irrelevant lines of code added.

♀ OdayakanaArashi 11 Sep, 2016 @ 4:13am

Update: Only works with Blink Dash.

♀ OdayakanaArashi 11 Sep, 2016 @ 2:16am

Issue: As of 1.1.0, this mod does not work on new characters. Plz fix.

♀ OdayakanaArashi 4 Sep, 2016 @ 5:04pm

@Darkblader24
Also, when I accidentally had to re-sub this, one of my characters became affected and cannot do it anymore. Another one is perfectly okay.

Hotox [author] 4 Sep, 2016 @ 3:56pm

@That One Furry Good to know. Thanks.

@Saucy Puppet Show It would be possible, yes. But why? Are you accidentally clicking twice?

♀ OdayakanaArashi 4 Sep, 2016 @ 12:34pm

Edit: After recent update, the Sprint one works.

Saucy Puppet Show 27 Aug, 2016 @ 5:08pm

Any possibility of getting a version of this where double-tap does NOT still work?
