How do I detect when the "Alt" key is pressed?

How can I detect the "Alt" key when it's pressed?

I tried doing it with the "Keyboard" - "key is down" condition, but it does not let me choose the "Alt" key (not even in the undetected keys drop-down).

Then I tried with the "Keyboard" - "key code is down", but I haven't found the key code for "Alt" anywhere...

Do you guys know the key code for it or another way of doing this?

Thanks!

Add the function and browser objects to your project. Add a function and call it "on alt pressed". Next add a "on start of layout" event and add a "browser->execute javascript" action with this:

"document.addEventListener('keydown', function(e){if(e.altKey)c2_callFunction('on alt pressed',[]);});"[/code:2z17k7e3]

Neat!!

This "browser->execeute javascript" action is something which I have to keep in mind... thanks!

There's an alternate method here:

I'm trying to check when the player presses a key if Alt is pressed and if it isn't, the key's code is added to the variable "Text"...

(This was the easiest way that I could come up with to register key codes from only certain keys and not from other. Do let me know if there is a simpler way =D)

Do you want to post the .capx?

I haven't understood it very well, could you explain it in more detail?

When Alt is pressed, Keyboard.StringFromKeyCode(Keyboard.LastKeyCode) will actually return the string alt, so you'd need to also check for that. So add something like:

Keyboard.StringFromKeyCode(Keyboard.LastKeyCode) <> "alt"

Where should I add it?

Add it to all the others.

Add it to all the others.

Oh, as a "System" - "compare two values".

Thank you!
