[Trigger] Looking for an event/condition

[NoobMapmaker]

I'm trying to make a trigger that activates once the player presses a key. I cant find an event that does that.

For example, when the player press "ESC" a dialog menu appear. Or other keys on the keyboard.

It's NOT possible afaik, or at least not that easy.
The only keys are left, right, up and down (the arrows) and I think 'a player skips a cinematic' is for the ESC key.
A possibility I thought of is using spells like berserk (no casting time), the problem is that you a) see them b) if the unit is not selected...

Greets, Justify

You could trigger it as a chat message though.. like say a unit types "*Dialog" into chat, and then bring up a dialog box..

Don't think you can by just hitting a given key.. Only way I could see that being a relative possibility would be by using Jass and even then I still don't think its possible

As Justify said, the only keys you can detect are the arrow keys and esc key. It doesn't make it more possible with jass. Only way to detect other keys, would be to use something like Reinventing the Craft, which is hosted on this site. Tho that'll make your map not work in multiplayer.

How do i make it activate dialog when the play presses the ESC, i cnat find that any where.

 

[Justify]

Don't know if its a generic event or not:

'Player red skips a cinematic'
'Show dialog'

I think this should work?

u could make a dummy ability like make a ability put the hot key as whatever u like but i dont think it would work for esc well trigger it like this
event
unit-starts effect of unit
cond
ability equal to (whatever)
action
whatever

yea i know thats not what u wanted but just givin u a idea
