on mapping keyboard keys

[Unabomberman]

Hello, I've checked Renpy, and I'm trying to figure out a way for making a system that whenever I press a key in the keyboard something happens. I have been looking at the reference manual and found something called "Keymap" that I think can help me but I'm still not sure how. Can anyone take a little time to assist me? I've looked hard around the manual and still; maybe I'm missing something.

So far I've encountered this:

bar_activate = [ 'mousedown_1', 'K_RETURN', 'K_KP_ENTER', 'joy_dismiss' ]

or

skip = [ 'K_LCTRL', 'K_RCTRL' ]

I'm trying to find where those functions (bar_activate, skip)are defined in code but so far no luck.

It seems that I can setup keys to perform certain preprogrammed functions in renpy, but I'm not sure if I can set up my own. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

In this case, what you want is probably not Keymap, but actually ui.keymap. The example there goes:

Code: Select all

label easter_egg:
    "You win!"
    return

init:
    python hide:
         def overlay():
             ui.keymap(W=renpy.curried_call_in_new_context("easter_egg"))

         config.overlay_functions.append(overlay)

Is this closer to what you want to do?

Yes. I think so. Can't get it to run, still. I put the label before the init block and that's enough to get me an error. I think you are pointing me in the right direction but I'm still a bit lost and at this time (2:54 AM) way too sleepy.

Thanks a lot. I'll surely try it again with a fresher and more rested head.

Bye, and thanks again.
