Receiving event for backslash key

[harkathmaker]

I looked through the keycodes for the key event, but I don't think backslash ("/") is defined. I also looked up the keycode and tried manually putting that in, but that didn't work.

Well, that character is called slash, backslash is this one : '\'
But you can always check the actual character in the text field, instead of checking for the predefined keycode.

Well, I'm trying to make the game open the chat interface when "/" is pressed (there are a number of games that do this I think). But I can't think of any way other than waiting for an event with the keycode of slash...?

We had a use of it too, here are [, \, and ]

Code: Select all

		KEY_OPENBRACKET      = 0xDB,  //[ key
		KEY_BACKSLASH        = 0xDC,  //\ key
		KEY_CLOSEBRACKET     = 0xDD,  //] key

Like hybrid said, check SKeyInput.Char instead of SKeyInput.Key
