detecting when holding a spell key.

[nerovesper]

Is it possible to detect if the player is holding a spell key?

 

[Just_Spectating]

the closest thing i can think of is to make a spell that is forever channeling

 

[Element of Water]

Yeah, but you still can't detect when the hotkey is released. I think the only way is to use RtC.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Yes, RtC is the solution. It comes with Jass NewGen Pack 5d. You can also download it from somewhere else (I don't know the location) on The Hive.

 

[Element of Water]

No, it no longer exists on The Hive. It was moved to Wc3C.

 

[nerovesper]

ok thank you, ^^
what is that btw? a program?

 

[Element of Water]

Er, yeah. The problem is, it's single player only, so...

 

[nerovesper]

oh, anyway thanks for responding. ^^

cant you just make a trigger which has the event of a player pressing a hotkey and enabling a boolean for it, and when its released you set the boolean to false? i think it works, cant try it now tho.

 

[Element of Water]

You can't detect when a hotkey is released.

 

[nerovesper]

EOW is right there is no such event on triggers.

 

[Diehard@Azeroth]

well i think there is a way with the slowing and fastening gamespeed, like plus sign and minus sign to indicate if a key is released, or u can just temporarily set the boolean to false after a second or two. Hope i helped bro ) ty for reminding me of that Water xD

The only keys for which it is possible to detect holding are the arrow keys.
If you make a spell based off them, you could do it, but otherwise, it is impossible.

 

[nerovesper]

yes, I know that arrow keys can detect when holding and releasing, I was asking for the spell hotkeys. but thanks anyway. ^^
