Game Keys (bge.events)¶

Intro¶

This module holds key constants for the SCA_KeyboardSensor.

# Set a connected keyboard sensor to accept F1
import bge

co = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
# 'Keyboard' is a keyboard sensor
sensor = co.sensors["Keyboard"]
sensor.key = bge.events.F1KEY

# Do the all keys thing
import bge

co = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
# 'Keyboard' is a keyboard sensor
sensor = co.sensors["Keyboard"]

for key,status in sensor.events:
        # key[0] == bge.events.keycode, key[1] = status
        if status == bge.logic.KX_INPUT_JUST_ACTIVATED:
                if key == bge.events.WKEY:
                        # Activate Forward!
                if key == bge.events.SKEY:
                        # Activate Backward!
                if key == bge.events.AKEY:
                        # Activate Left!
                if key == bge.events.DKEY:
                        # Activate Right!

# The all keys thing without a keyboard sensor (but you will
# need an always sensor with pulse mode on)
import bge

# Just shortening names here
keyboard = bge.logic.keyboard
JUST_ACTIVATED = bge.logic.KX_INPUT_JUST_ACTIVATED

if keyboard.events[bge.events.WKEY] == JUST_ACTIVATED:
        print("Activate Forward!")
if keyboard.events[bge.events.SKEY] == JUST_ACTIVATED:
        print("Activate Backward!")
if keyboard.events[bge.events.AKEY] == JUST_ACTIVATED:
        print("Activate Left!")
if keyboard.events[bge.events.DKEY] == JUST_ACTIVATED:
        print("Activate Right!")

Functions¶

bge.events.EventToString(event)¶

Return the string name of a key event. Will raise a ValueError error if its invalid.

Parameters:	event (int) – key event constant from `bge.events` or the keyboard sensor.
Return type:	string

bge.events.EventToCharacter(event, shift)¶

Return the string name of a key event. Returns an empty string if the event cant be represented as a character.

Parameters:	event (int) – key event constant from `bge.events` or the keyboard sensor. shift (bool) – set to true if shift is held.
Return type:	string
