Player Can Adjust Keymap?

[Andredron]

When a player clicks on a button, a screen will appear, allowing them to choose any key on their keyboard to reassign for a specific in-game action.

For instance, normally, you'd use the "S" key for taking a screenshot. But, if you click a specific button, a menu pops up allowing you to choose a different key – say, "Z," to switch up your screenshot button.

Is there a way to do this?

Wandered to reddit and saw this question, and myself became interested in how to do this, please advise please

An acquaintance suggested an option on how to realize something like this.....

##########

Code: Select all

default persistent.keymap = {}

label start:
    "Standard voiceover input (now [config.keymap[self_voicing]])"
    $ persistent.keymap['self_voicing'] = renpy.input(u "Replace with new ", length = 1)
    $ config.keymap['self_voicing']= [persistent.keymap['self_voicing']]
    $ renpy.clear_keymap_cache()
    "Now [config.keymap[self_voicing]]''
    return

The modified layout is written to persistent.keymap. This is to make sure it doesn't roll back the next time you run the game:

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    python:
        for k, v in config.keymap.items():
            if k in persistent.keymap.keys():
                config.keymap[k] = persistent.keymap[k]
    $ renpy.clear_keymap_cache()
    return

I think that if you create a separate menu for these settings, you need to loop for loop through the options in config.keymap.

But I remember in the old version on the joystick were other commands and do not remember already.

There really isn't a good way to do this yet.

I'm considering adding it, but it's a lot of work, and I don't have a great feeling as to how many people would use it.
