What key is pressed returner

Gamer_Logan819

Basically, it’s like

<key [any v] pressed?>

but it returns the key pressed

So it would look something like:

<key pressed? :: sensing >

and would work in a script like:

if < <key pressed? :: sensing> = [b] :: operator >then
say [Hello!]
end

the sprite would say “Hello!” when b key is pressed.

So… what would it return when you press two buttons at the same time?

It is impossible to press 2 keys at the exact same time, down to the zeptosecond. The first clicked would return. If a robot was able to click them at the EXACT same time, it would return “NaN”

That is not going to help, I would still have to do

Jbear_ wrote:

when [c v] key pressed
Say [hello]

when [d v] key pressed
Say [hello]

and so on.

What I need the block I suggested for is

(join (typed letters) <key pressed? :: sensing>)

when green flag clicked
forever
if <<key [a v] pressed?> or <key [b v] pressed?>> then
Say [hello!]

But I’m making a typing system, and I need all of the letters, which would be both time consuming and memory consuming (scratch had 50mb limit)

If anything, it should be a list of all keys held down at that moment, perhaps including individual modifiers too. (for example, typing “!” would return shift, 1, and !)

Neutral support, but it is an interesting idea

I am a Pokémon which resembles a small snake. My body is mostly brownish white with a few darker spots. I have oval green eyes with black pupils, each one surrounded by a brown spot.

Credit bulbapedia. What a masterpiece this link is leading too also!

I was thinking of that, but that just seems sort of complicated. I like it though.

IndexErrorException

Simple answer to when there is a two buttons down at the same time. Return the most latest button pressed, just like how most coding languages do it.

Most languages don't just have a “key pressed” function. XD They usually have key events that are triggered when a key is pressed which then allows you to handle that specific event for that specific key.

XD? Yes, I meant a event trigger but I also know python library(forgot which one) that has the current key pressed, and luaU which has a get function which returns an array of pressed keys. Mr. Space Nerd.

i just figured some thing out

<key [any v] pressed?>

that returns with the key pressed but its just is like thats a key so im gonna activate

this is the script

when green flag clicked
forever
if <<key [any v] pressed?>=(1)>  then
say [hello]
end
end

but with the block the script looks like this

when green flag clicked
forever
if <<key pressed?::sensing>=(1)>  then
say [hello]
end
end

and they do the exact same thing go ahead try it yourself (edited for more realistic key pressed block)

It should be

(key pressed :: sensing)

Simple workaround to detect every letter,number and other things like commas and dots. No support for backspace tho
