How do I press multiple keys down

Gah.. this seems such a stupid question, but i gots to bare the shame and ask it.. i get it how you set a key press to do something, but how do you get an action by pressing two keys at the same time?

what im trying to do is that say i press down, my player starts walking in that direction, but say i press shift-down, the player would reverse and not turn downwards.

Add a second condition..

right click event - add another condition

on down pressed

on shift pressed

do stuff

Ah, since its you that answered.. i actually i was referring to the movement thing you helped me out before at the topic "https://www.scirra.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=147&t=130167&p=914512#p914512" , the thing works beautifully, but i cant seem to get it to move past the four main directions without making it flip out on me. I'd need all the eight directions to work.

It seems like only 6 keys can be pressed at the same time? (Using Construct 3) any additional key is not detected until one of the first 6 is released. Anybody has any experience on this?

It's quite possible this is a keyboard limitation. For example, my SP4 can't recognize if I'm holding shift and press the left arrow key at the same time.

Keep in mind this is hardware-specific (but can also be limited by software), and expecting users to hit more than two or three keys at the same time is outside of standard keyboard usage.

There's a test app at the top of this article to see what your keyboard supports: http://www.microsoft.com/appliedscience ... ained.aspx
