Detect hotkeys ?

[Exum]

Hi, i was wondering about something :
Is there any way to detect when a player press a hotkey ? (like the arrows)
Without making a spell / selling a dummy unit / ...
(As i make maps where heroes have more than 7 spells, and as nobody likes spellbooks :/)

Thanks,

Exum

You can detect the arrow keys and the escape key via triggers

Just as Raven said, arrow keys & ECS...but in addition, the Channel ability can do it just change the base order for it & assign a hotkey, you dont have to make a custom trigger ability for this...

Well, thank you for answering.
The thing is that i want a hero to have more than 7 spells (my first oprg hero has about 30 spells by tree and 4 trees), so more than 7 hotkeys, but i think i'll have to use arrows, dummy spells, and other spells in spellbook :/

you can always remove/add spells with triggers, you can have hundreds of spells if you want...

I think that there is no limit of maximum spells for a unit. For example, you can have 10 spellbooks in 1 spellbook, each filled with 5 spellbooks and 5 spells...

The problem isn't the number limit, it is to creat a direct way (hotkey) to use each spells, even if the unit have 50 spells for example (Hotkeys like Ctr + A, A, and so on).
But as i saw there is no way to detect it, so i'll have to make hotkeys only for some spells

You can't have like 100 Spells covering for only 26 Hotkeys (alphabet) dude.. ?
You MUST have limit if you're doing it your way as you speak
Spellbook is the best potential right now

Yes but i thaught about hotkeys like Ctr + Letter or whatever like that. Like in wow for example. But i bet it's impossible :/
Anyway thank you for answering.
