Force F key

[pr114]

I want to trigger the opening and closing of several system framess like 'Menu' 'Ally' etc, and I figure the easiest way would be to force a key press.

Unfortunately something like ForceUIKey("F12") doesn't give the desired result. Anyone know if possible, what is the required input to force a F-key press?

You can try to use the key code instead of the string.

Try to open the jass file inside wc3 folder, there should be a list of all keycodes, you can try with that one.

I remember that i did this with esc key and it worked

I don't know if I understood correctly, but these didn't work:
ForceUIKey(OSKEY_F12)
ForceUIKey("OSKEY_F12")

mmm then i think it wont be possible.

Don't know if thiss will work but maybe you can try to change the hotkey for f12, there should be a text config file where all the hotkeys are set, it can be found if you unpack the casca archive and extract it. You cna change the values and then you can import it into the map in asset manager, import it to the path name something like /units/commandcfg.txt (the name is not right).

And then in game use one of the keys that can be forced.

I think only normal UI keys for abilities and stop attack move etc.. can be forced.
