XP Key Input: Conditional Branch

[DiffMaster]

Okay so I'm setting up my own menu for something in XP and I'm using
a condition branch for each key press. The arrow keys Left, Right, Up, and Down all
work but in the Conditional Branch the only other options are A, B, C, X, Y, Z, L and R

There's no Enter key, and setting the branch to A, B, C, X, Y, Z, L or R does nothing when the
actual key is pressed.

Is there a way I can set it up so when the Enter key is pressed or some other key is pressed
it will do a function like with the arrow keys, do A, B, C, X, Y, Z, L and R relate to some
other key I'm just not getting?

Edit: Okay toying around with it I noticed that the mentioned "A" key is actually "Shift". I wonder
why it's shown wrong on my screen. Does it look different on anyone else's?

That little annoying detail is universal, unfortunately.

When you're doing a playtest, you can hit F1 and adjust the keys in one of the tabs in the window that pops up (it also lets you toggle music, SE, and a couple other things). Think of it like you're using an SNES emulator with certain keys set to represent certain controller buttons by default. Might not help you a lot, but hey.

Those keys don't represent their respective letters on the keyboard, Those are gamepad controls by default:

A = Z and Shift
B = X, 0, and Escape
C = C, Enter, and Space
X = A
Y = S
Z = D
L = Q
R = W

I believe there is some place in the script you can change this, but I'm not the person to ask about that. ^_^ You can also change the set keys around a bit by pressing F1 in test mode as forementioned.

So, if you want the enter key to work, set the input to 'C'

It's not showing wrong, it's intentionally showing the Button Name. It's universal, I mean, good luck finding an Enter or Shift button on a game controller. *Awaits photographic proof of such ¬¬*

Since this program is indeed a computer program, a lot of people don't realize those are game pad controls. That confused me at first as well until I thought of the possiblity of plugging in a game controller to play, then it made more sense.
