keypress?

[martinb7]

Hi, I have a dynamic textbox (variable = health), and I would like to know how to increase it to 999 or just increase it (e.g +2) when the SHIFT key and a letter like H is pressed

(SHIFT+H makes health = 999)

Any ideas??

Thanx

Martin

Stick this on the main timeline:

keyListener = {};
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
	if (key.isDown(Key.SHIFT) && Key.isDown(72)) {
		health += 2;
		trace('health='+health);
	}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);

yes i have done that and it works - thanx . Now how would i add more keypresses like SHIFT + G into the code?

Thanx

The other key is controlled by the 'Key.isDown(72)' part, to add another key just replicate the 'if' statement code and change the number for the key code of the key you need to trap (G is 71).

If you're looking to catch a lot of keys then I'd have the 'SHIFT' condition separate from the rest and use a switch statement to work out what other key is being pressed.
