Hi, i have made few events for VIEW moving with keys and mouse+screen edge. All is fine but i saw that some events can by found when clicking on SCRIPT button on top screen, and some CANT be found. its just ViewMoving, so i afraid that one day i just wont find some events in created mess.
So to the MAIN TOPIC: can i write all events available in ADD menu in the global script (f.e. KeyDown cant be found in script editor's variables/functions menu)?? If yes, how should it look like??

KeyDown>Down> y = y + 10

You mean is there a way to determine what key(s) are pressed in script? You can use the function GetKeyState to see if keys are pressed in script.

Code: Select all

char* key = GetKeyState();
if(key[KEY_RIGHT]==1)
{
    x+=10;
}

You can find all the keys here. http://game-editor.com/docs/script_reference.htm

If you want to use just the last key, and have a keydown any key event, you can use getLastKey() function.

But can i do it ALL in Global code? To assign actor with moving action when key is pressed, becouse i want to call it a name to have f.e. all move scripts in one place.

Yes, you can have it all in global code.

Make it a function

Code: Select all

void functionName()
{
   //your code here
}


and then in the draw actor event put the function. If you ever need to edit the code just go into global code and edit the function.
