How to Make Movement with Only a Mouse in Fortnite

Fortnite gameplay is fast, and accurate movements and quick reflexes are required. Although this, and most of the other games, are played with the keyboard and mouse, some players may choose a custom configuration where only the mouse is used to provide movement, perhaps supplemented by voice commands. In this article, you will learn how to use voice command software for keyboard inputs normally done by hand and make movement in Fortnite possible with a mouse only.

How to Make Movement With Only a Mouse in Fortnite

With voice command software, you can convert your voice into a functioning control of the keyboard, allowing you to move about in Fortnite with just your mouse. You will be able to use voice commands to control the character's movement, and the mouse is used for aiming and shooting.

Step 1: Download and Install the Voice Command Software

Voice command software will allow you to translate vocal commands into keyboard clicks. GlovePIE, VoiceBot, and VoiceAttack are popular apps. By using one of those you could map specific vocal commands onto the keyboard shortcuts, which will give you physical movement controlling power without using any keyboard.

Installation Steps:

• Software Download: We will use the software VoiceBot for this tutorial.
• Get VoiceBot: You can get the updated software by going to the VoiceBot official site.
• Install VoiceBot: Double-click on the downloaded installer to follow the installation process as per the installation wizard.

Step 2: Make an Account with Voice Command

After installing the software, you have to create a profile that will link your voice commands to the Fortnite movement keys, which are W, A, S, and D.

Creating a Profile in VoiceBot

• Run VoiceBot: Turn on your computer and run the VoiceBot software.
• Create a New Profile: When it asks to create a new profile, select "Fortnite Movement."
• Add Movement Commands:
  • Forward Movement (W Key): Mapping: W key; Voice Command: "Forward" or "Move Forward."
  • Left Movement (A Key): A key; Voice Command: "Left" or "Move Left."
  • Backward Movement (S Key): S Key; Voice Command: "Backward" or "Move Back"
  • Right Movement (D Key): D Key; Voice command: "Right" or "Move Right.".
  • Jump (Spacebar): Voice Command: "Jump"
  • To Crouch (Ctrl Key): Issue the voice command "Crouch"
• Assign keyboard functions: Assign a voice command in VoiceBot to its corresponding keyboard key by selecting a command and then mapping it to the desired key press.

Step 3: Setting Up the VoiceBot Preferences

You may slightly need to tweak a few settings to make sure that VoiceBot recognizes your voice commands and performs the associated keyboard operations.

• Configuration of Microphone: Confirm that the settings of VoiceBot have your microphone properly plugged in and set up.
• Sensitivity Adjustment: It is necessary to adjust the sensitivity of the microphone input in such a way that the given voice instructions are recorded properly, but also so that the number of false positives is reduced to the very minimum.
• Command Testing: Test each voice command in VoiceBot using command testing to ensure it triggers the appropriate keyboard action.

Step 4: Test Your Fortnite Setup

You're going to want to test your setup to make sure everything is working correctly before you jump into a game.

• Open the PC version of Fortnite.
• Enter Solo Match or Creative Mode so you can test your movement commands in a safe environment without the pressure of a competitive battle.
• Test Each Command:
  • Say, "Forward" and your character should move forward.
  • Saying "Left" will make your character move to the left.
  • Saying "Backward" will ensure that your character moves backward.
  • Say the word "right," and your character will go right.
  • Say "Jump," and the character jumps.
  • Say "Crouch," and your avatar is now crouched.

Step 5: Tuning Parameters

Some of these commands may need to be tuned after testing for better accuracy or responsiveness.

• Adjust Sensitivity: If VoiceBot fails to recognize your commands, change the microphone sensitivity in the software settings.
• Change the Commands: Do what you want - upgrade your voice commands or add more to execute other actions.
• Optimize Performance: Make sure VoiceBot runs in the background without lagging or interrupting Fortnite's performance in any way.

1. How Do I Turn On Movement in Fortnite?
