(new ?)Keyboard Detection Event

05-14-2008, 12:27 PM

hey guys!

im looking for a triggerevent that detects when a player presses a key, "w"for example. indeed theres only a function for detecting the arrow keys. Im sure there wud be a way with dummy spells etc to see when a player presses that button,but that wud suck :P.

Now i wonder, if there wud be any way to implement my own event that can detect some other keys as well ( y,x,a,s,q,w). the editors event needs those parameters:

Code:

call TriggerRegisterPlayerKeyEventBJ( gg_trg_Copy, Player(0), bj_KEYEVENTTYPE_DEPRESS, bj_KEYEVENTKEY_UP )

if i cud create my own event (derived from that event) but enhanced with parameters like 'bj_KEYEVENTKEY_W' all wud be very simple. Too bad ive never seen someone using a custom event.

is there any way?

you can use only up/down/left/right

JASS:

    // Blizzard.j

    // Keyboard Event Types
    constant integer   bj_KEYEVENTTYPE_DEPRESS     = 0
    constant integer   bj_KEYEVENTTYPE_RELEASE     = 1

    // Keyboard Event Keys
    constant integer   bj_KEYEVENTKEY_LEFT         = 0
    constant integer   bj_KEYEVENTKEY_RIGHT        = 1
    constant integer   bj_KEYEVENTKEY_DOWN         = 2
    constant integer   bj_KEYEVENTKEY_UP           = 3

Alevice	Has anyone tried numbers higher than 3? It would be interesting to know if there are mapped keys that are simply without a mnemonic.

I don't think it would work. Simply because:

JASS:

function TriggerRegisterPlayerKeyEventBJ takes trigger trig, player whichPlayer, integer keType, integer keKey returns event
    if (keType == bj_KEYEVENTTYPE_DEPRESS) then
        // Depress event - find out what key
        if (keKey == bj_KEYEVENTKEY_LEFT) then
            return TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(trig, whichPlayer, EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_LEFT_DOWN)
        elseif (keKey == bj_KEYEVENTKEY_RIGHT) then
            return TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(trig, whichPlayer, EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_RIGHT_DOWN)
        elseif (keKey == bj_KEYEVENTKEY_DOWN) then
            return TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(trig, whichPlayer, EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_DOWN_DOWN)
        elseif (keKey == bj_KEYEVENTKEY_UP) then
            return TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(trig, whichPlayer, EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_UP_DOWN)
        else
            // Unrecognized key - ignore the request and return failure.
            return null
        endif
    elseif (keType == bj_KEYEVENTTYPE_RELEASE) then
        // Release event - find out what key
        if (keKey == bj_KEYEVENTKEY_LEFT) then
            return TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(trig, whichPlayer, EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_LEFT_UP)
        elseif (keKey == bj_KEYEVENTKEY_RIGHT) then
            return TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(trig, whichPlayer, EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_RIGHT_UP)
        elseif (keKey == bj_KEYEVENTKEY_DOWN) then
            return TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(trig, whichPlayer, EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_DOWN_UP)
        elseif (keKey == bj_KEYEVENTKEY_UP) then
            return TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(trig, whichPlayer, EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_UP_UP)
        else
//
//
// It probably won't recognize the key or type...
            // Unrecognized key - ignore the request and return failure.
            return null
        endif
    else
        // Unrecognized type - ignore the request and return failure.
        return null
    endif
endfunction

yes, it don't work

JASS:

    // common.j

    constant gameevent          EVENT_GAME_SAVE                         = ConvertGameEvent(259)

    //===================================================
    // For use with TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent
    //===================================================

    constant playerevent        EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_LEFT_DOWN            = ConvertPlayerEvent(261)
    constant playerevent        EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_LEFT_UP              = ConvertPlayerEvent(262)
    constant playerevent        EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_RIGHT_DOWN           = ConvertPlayerEvent(263)
    constant playerevent        EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_RIGHT_UP             = ConvertPlayerEvent(264)
    constant playerevent        EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_DOWN_DOWN            = ConvertPlayerEvent(265)
    constant playerevent        EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_DOWN_UP              = ConvertPlayerEvent(266)
    constant playerevent        EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_UP_DOWN              = ConvertPlayerEvent(267)
    constant playerevent        EVENT_PLAYER_ARROW_UP_UP                = ConvertPlayerEvent(268)

    //===================================================
    // For use with TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent

    constant playerunitevent    EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SELL                  = ConvertPlayerUnitEvent(269)
