[JASS] Native for hotkey event

[DoOs_101]

Hi guys, I just wanted to ask if there is a native list in JASS for handling hotkey event, functions, and variables. If there is please let me know.


Thank you.

Well depends on what you consider hotkey. If you mean like

native DetectHotkey takes integer ASCII returns nothing

you are not going to find it.

I meant like player presses R button.
or player presses J button. Almost like a keyboard event

Nope, there's just one that forces the player to press a key.

but you can make an invisible channel based ability hotkeyed to buttons you want
then detect them with triggers etc etc etc etc

And yea there is no native to detect when someone presses a character key

There will be one in RtC, not exactly event, but a check if a button is pressed.

Aye, this question has been asked before and I answered it. In fact, I just answered one today. MindWorX is making an "IsKeyPressed" boolean native which will register if a key is pressed. Along with a periodic event, it should work.

Nothing to do but wait.

There many work arounds. The spellbook thing doesn't work and the invisible channel still takes up a space I think... And if you hover over it, despite it not having a tool tip, I think it will still create the bar thingy. But it is less conspicuous as an actual ability with an icon and everything.

Any news about his custom native? Can't wait to apply it to my map in progress

Take a look at reinventing the craft under the Hosted Projects.

It's actually been done for a while.

Note that it is single-player only, unless everyone in the multiplayer game is running RtC.

Aww... well then I have to make the longer and harder system. Thanks anyways
