[JASS] A player presses key(NOT ARROWS!)

[JedimasterYoda]

I just wonder what the event for another key than the arrow key is, and if so, can I use the preset GUI triggers(WE or WEU) or do I have to use JASS scriting, if I have to, could anyone who knows JASS pretty well, tell me the event (But then again, I don't know how to create the action in JASS.

Thanks.

The only other key that you can detect when it's pressed is escape through "Player skips cinematic" or whatever it is. If you want to detect when other keys are pressed, you would have to use abilities with the proper hotkeys.

I have tried to find out if that is possible too, if you mean to detect if forinstance the A key is either pressed or released. With abilities you will just get one of them.

Since the arrow-keys are primarily used for moving the camera, I thought it would be possible to bind other keys to that function (CustomKeys.txt).

Right now I've kinda given up the (re)search, just keeping an eye open

You cant register when a player hits something other than the arrow keys.
What you can do is an even easier-Give the unit a spellbook, with some spells in it, and disable the spellbook for the player. his allows you to use the hotkeys for the spells, but you cant see their icon. Give each spell no effects, casting time, etc, and there you go. Then, use A unit is issued an order, if order = that spells order string, make the unit do X actions.

Nope, that won't work.

Since the spellbook isn't actually open, you can't access the spells. It's like reading a book without it open or eating muffins when the oven is closed with them inside or something. You don't, (in this case), have access to the spell.

For proof, read Diablo-dk's spellbook tutorial; I asked somewhere if the disabled spellbook trick is accessable and if it works, but I believe he and PurplePoot said that it isn't accessable and won't work.

Just in case, I even tested it doing everything right but it still didn't work.

How about making the ''dummy'' unit have no attack at all, and no movement at all?

And then just add the abilitys and have another unit do the things when you Press them.

you cannot detect when button is relased... knock it off, and use arrowkeys.
