[LE] How to handle player Input?

[KotoShamisen]

I'm a noob in Papyrus and I'm trying to make so that when the player presses a key in the keyboard like X, Y or whatever, a function from my script is executed. I tried it several times using stuff like RegisterForKey, OnKeyDown, Input.IsKeyPressed, but none worked. I also searched on Google, topics on the forum and in the documentation, but I'm having no luck so far. Everything works fine but the input. I'm not sure, but i think it's because I'm trying to do it in a script that extends from Quest. Can someone give me an explanation or an example piece of code pls? thx in advance

Place down and activator then in your script use onactivate as the trigger.

The keypress thing isn't going to work out (for a few reasons).

Tested this with a quest script

 

 

Event OnInit()
 
RegisterForKey(45) ; X key
 
EndEvent
 
Event OnKeyUp(Int KeyCode, Float HoldTime)
   
    if KeyCode == 45 ; not necessary but out of habit
 
        debug.trace("KeyCode: " +KeyCode+ " Holdtime: " +HoldTime)
   
    endif
EndEvent

 

From my log:

 

[02/23/2018 - 07:47:56AM] KeyCode: 45 Holdtime: 0.134000
[02/23/2018 - 07:48:02AM]

 

You might be confusing key input with UI input... I think.

Sorry for asking, but you have SKSE installed and working properly, right? RegisterForKey won't work without this.

Lol, you just made me remember that I had overwritten the skse scripts with the vanilla ones from the rar file, thx dude I was never going to notice.

Just realized that I had also mistyped the OnInit section.

 

Thanks candlepin, Rasikko and NexusComa for the help and replies :smile:
