A squeak hack for (key pressed) would help so many users in their type-based projects. I requested one from nxIII, but it didn't quite work.

If any other advanced squeak hackers can help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! big_smile

There is a key-pressed block already.... It's my favorite one.

He's not talking about <key [space] pressed>; he's talking about <key pressed>.

shadow_7283 · 2010-03-08 18:19:57

What JonathanPB said, but like a variable (key pressed --> ) <--

technoguyx · 2010-03-08 18:21:36

For less confusion name it "any key pressed".

I've worked this into streak...
However, in the mean time you can do thia uaing BYOB - just make the block a boolean reporter, and have it report a loooooooonnnnnnnggggg boolean expression which evaluates whether any key is pressed using many many nested OR blocks.

That's a good idea, but I would like to be able to upload any projects that might include this to the Scratch website. Also, it is meant to read WHAT key is being pressed. For
example, if you pressed the space key and had a script that said
set variable to (key pressed), the variable would read
"space". Thanks though.

That complicates things... you could probably still do that in BYOB, just have an internal variable whichs sets to it, ill give it a go.

markyparky56 · 2010-03-09 11:58:43

There you go! Made it in BYOB though.

Mine should have worked, bu it didn't...

How did you make it? Did you try to do it in the browser part?

It's really great, I just wish we could put it into Scratch....

Wouldn't this work?

[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<set{ Key Pressed }to( None

<when[ Space ]key pressed>
<set{ Key Pressed }to( Space
<wait until><< <not> <key[ Space ]pressed?> >>
<set{ Key Pressed }to( None

<when[ A ]key pressed>
<set{ Key Pressed }to( A
<wait until><< <not> <key[ A ]pressed?> >>
<set{ Key Pressed }to( None

... Make a whole lot more scripts like this for different keys ...

<when[ Z ]key pressed>
<set{ Key Pressed }to( Z
<wait until><< <not> <key[ Z ]pressed?> >>
<set{ Key Pressed }to( None

[/blocks]
It will only work for one key at a time...but maybe that is sufficient for what you want?

Thats kind of what i did, but i bundled it all into one block using Byob.

It's a great method, but the only reason I went to the trouble of posting a topic asking for a hack is to avoid all these scripts. Using it you could shorten 52 scripts to 1. Thanks though!

That senses clicking... hmm

HUH?

nXIII · 2010-04-02 16:48:05

If you want, just make a new method that is this

Code:

(Sensor keyPressed: (self asciiFor: 'a')) ifTrue: [^ 'a'].
(Sensor keyPressed: (self asciiFor: 'b')) ifTrue: [^ 'b'].
...

type thing.

Type at where?

I tried putting that under the KeyPressed section you made on your last attempt and did not change the block specs, but now all I'm getting is aScratchStageMorph() as its value...

Edit: That's weird... It senses numbers but not letters...

You could just stack up or blocks like this: [blocks]
<< << <or> >> <or> << <or> >> >> [/blocks] ect.

Thats what i did for the byob block, just hid it all away.
