how do you discriminate among which key is pressed?
Using the "when __ key pressed" hat one can start different scripts when different keys are pressed. If you want to check for all alphabetic keys, is there a shorter way than having 26 scripts?

That's fine. But then, if you have to discriminate among all 26 keys then you need further 26 "if" conditions. Is this correct?

Spot on. It would be cool if someone could find a way, but you can't…
That's my PSN ID. I know tons of COD4 glitches. Add me as your friend. Oh, and get a headset

Yes, this is for projects that involve teaching letter/words to children.

Re: how do you discriminate among which key is pressed?
what about
<if><< <not> << <key[ b ]pressed?> <or> << <key[ d ]pressed?> <or> <key[ a ]pressed?> >> >>
that way you categorise it to a certain amount of the letters, the example is "bad" so if you press a key other than b, a or d it tells if ur wrong
