Hey great forum crew! I have a request for help!
I'm working on a game that looks for to allow for any 2 keys on the keyboard to be
pressed simultaneously.
That is-- any 2 keys of the keyboard to be used at the same time! Thanks so much for the help. On top of the g_Scancode I found in global;

g_KeyPressE = 0
g_KeyPressQ = 0
g_KeyPressW = 0
g_KeyPressA = 0
g_KeyPressS = 0
g_KeyPressD = 0
g_KeyPressR = 0
g_KeyPressF = 0
g_KeyPressC = 0
g_KeyPressJ = 0


g_PlrKeyW = 0
g_PlrKeyA = 0
g_PlrKeyS = 0
g_PlrKeyD = 0
g_PlrKeyQ = 0
g_PlrKeyE = 0
g_PlrKeyF = 0
g_PlrKeyC = 0
g_PlrKeyZ = 0
g_PlrKeyR = 0
g_PlrKeyJ = 0

This is less than half the keyboard keys!

No can do unfortunately, the g_KeyPress variables will work, i.e. you can tell if E and R are pressed at the same time, also whether Shift or Ctrl are pressed but Scancode only reports a single key.

Thanks AM - but to add the rest of the keys would be difficult??
===================================================================

If GG would let me into the engine code, and I was able to interpret it--
I would be happy to add the rest of the keys.

Basically it seems like a copy and past (+add a letter) would do the trick?!
15 minutes? -- after the technique was acquired!

You only need the GetKeyState(key) command.


The command returns 1 if pressed and 0 if not pressed.
No need to change the source.

Here is a list of the scancodes:

Oh man! Look at that. Just perfect- it's hidden in there, (put this at the top of Global!)
but it's a perfect solution! Thanks Corno_1 All kinds of stuff hidden in there it seems.

Slight word of warning though, scancodes are not the same on all keyboards!

it works for me too.


bad news if so, specially on standalone builds.

Not so bad. Concentrate on the letters and number keys (above) and you are fine most of the time.
They not differ that much. The other keys can be different from country to country.

I always recommend the green keys in this picture and I never had a problem:

Except there are non-QWERTY keyboards, too. So, not all the letters are in the same place for all keyboards.

this is the keyboard map i put in Asset Manager if it helps

Best way around any issues is to make a define keys option That way the scancode of any device will be able to work
