Simple(er) use of Key Pressed?

[MileSplit]

SO for my map Key pressed event is used many times. I need to fin out what player pressed the key and would like not to have to create 8 different triggers.
Got any ideas?

You could switch the event key to Any and use the Key Pressed native to get the pressed key.

• HerpDerp
  • Events
    • UI - Player Any Player presses Any key Down with shift Allow, control Allow, alt Allow
  • Local Variables
    • player = (Triggering player) <Integer>
    • key = (Key Pressed) <Key>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
      • If
        • key == Tab
      • Then
        • ------- Do something meaningful
      • Else

Conditions are your answer.
More specifically booleans, as shown above.

A boolean:
If x = y then z.
If y = a then k.

Thanks for the feedback, but i dont know if you get what im saying.
I am making a WASD movement system, which is easy... for one player.
But I wish to make it for 8 players. But i do not want 8 triggers.
The problem is i cant get "triggering player" the native is greyed out.

 

[Muhahahahaaa]

i can offer half of a solution.
create 8 triggers and 1 custom action with param Player. Inside those 8 triggers you call the custom action with the player number of the event as param. So you won't have to change the code 8 times each time a change occurs.

Ignore that and use it anyway. It works as expected and returns the player which pressed the key.

Triggering player does work, just GUI is wrong.

If _ key is pressed by _ player, then move _ unit in _ direction.

Only needs one trigger.. and maybe like 3 lines of code.
