Hi

I'm trying to use IsKeyPressed to add a modifier ("Shift" key), through scripting, to a mouse over trigger (which doesn't seem to have the standard modifier choices in the dialog box). I must be doing something wrong, since whichever variation of script used doesn't work.

I've attached a sample IMP file and would appreciate any help in getting it to work (possibly, the mouse over trigger is not able to accept modifiers?).

Kind Regards,

Stephen,

I would suggets looking at it a different way:

1. create a page variable called objectOver and set value to 'x' (without speech.

2. Create a page trigger of Key Press "shift" and add a script action with the following code:

if (objectOver != 'x')
{
eval(objectOver+'.Rotate(5)')
}

This basically checks that the var objectOver isn't 'x' and then excutes the value stored in the variable.

The value in this variable is created by:

1. Add a mouse over trigger to an object (say a vector) and add the following code:

objectOver = this.GetName()

2. Add a mouse exit trigger to the object and add the following code:

objectOver = 'x'

This will basically set the objectOver variable to the name of the object (see below) when over and reset to 'x' if mouse out. The page polling trigger for key press will be checking in the background for the objectOver variable and rotate which every object name it is passed.

NOTE: YOU MUST USE OBJECT NAMES WITHOUT SPACES IE vector1 not vector 1!!!!!

Simple add te same code to all the objects on the page and the name will be passed to the variable which the key press with then check. Add additional key press triggers with the same code but different action IE ALT is rotate anticlockwise, etc.

Hi Mack

Thanks for this very interesting piece of scripting, which I experimented with. It provided some very good ideas.

I finally got the IsKeyPressed working with the arrow keys (can't seem to get the "Shift" key to work).

I've attached the IMP. The newest scripting is for the second line.

I still need to tweak it somewhat.

Kind Regards,
