Keyboard Input Module Question

[Angst]

I'm really new with RGSS so I was wondering how someone would go about scripting where if you press the F key on your keyboard (or any other key), it would open a custom menu, say, the Crafting System, or the Materia System windows.

I already have the Keyboard Input Module v.5 but adding a menu to a key stumps me. x:

Usually this is used to determine if a button is pressed.

 if Input.trigger?(Input::?)

Replace the ? with the key to be pressed, and underneath goes the code referencing what happens when that key is pressed.

Where should I put the new code? o_O

Usually in the updates section of a script.

Ok got it in the Updates section but when i press the F key nothing happens and I get no errors. ._.

What script are you adding it to?

 

[Angst]

The Crafting System (by SephirothSpawn) in the update section.

I Put this in:

if Input.trigger?(Input::F)
$scene = Scene_Crafting.new
end

Nope...

If you're using Aleworks Input Module... you'll also need Aleworks Keyboard Module to check individual keys (A to Z and etc).

After adding that module, you'll be able to check ANY key with a syntax of this:

if Input.trigger(Keys::F)
  $scene = Scene_Crafting.new
end

Notice the difference? The Input.trigger? routine in his Input Module rewrite was made to work exactly the same but the Keys::F is part of the Keyboard module.

No, I'm using Near Fantastica's Input Module, v.5
._.

I might get Aleworks instead.. Seems easier..

For Near's it's like this:

if Keyboard.trigger?(Keyboard::Letters['F'])
  .....
end
