Basic help (not sure where to post this) - Matt - 03-06-2006

I'm trying to figure out how to make something happen, when a player presses alt+o.

Anyone have any idea?

as far as i know... 'alt' can't be used in vb programs. i was going to use it instead of the delete key to cast spells on other players.


- Reece - 03-06-2006

here is an example

private sub Advo()
Dim ascii as long
if key ascii = Keyhere then
End if
End sub

that works fine for me dunno if it may for you ^^ (Thats v.basic)

Also look at the talking subs and see how its done externally

I know how to do that, I just don't know what the code is for the alt keys. Lol.

Works with keydown/up and getasynckeystate. Keycode = 18.


- Matt - 03-06-2006

The keycode for alt is 18?

(Even so, I can't test right now, because of my other problem. Sad )


- BigRed - 03-06-2006

Yes, the keycode for alt is 18.

dont know where you heard that obsidian...


- Matt - 03-06-2006

Eh, I decided to just put the buttons on the screen, instead. So, don't worry about this.

could use the SetHokey API
