Keybinding

Okay, I literally started using Alice about 40 minutes ago. And my teacher has tasked me with figuring out how to make the character walk while a SPECIFIC key is pressed. I figured out how to make him move while a key is pressed, but not a specific key. Is there something easy I'm missing? Any help would be awesome. Thank you!

Pic for clarification:

Are you happy about what the keyPressed procedure is doing so far, and what a keyEvent means?

Your keyEvent is called w. Of the buttons at the top, "do in order", "count...", and so on, which will allow you to make a decision as to whether something is true or not?

You need to make a decision about whether to move before moving....

Hopefully that is enough of a hint.

I'm still confused a bit. I'm trying to bind moving forward to the "w" key. Instead the current code only recognizes that I'm pressing keys on the keyboard. Does that make sense? I need it to only register, and move the character forward on "w" key pressed. Maybe I misread your post but I still don't quite get it. :S

hgs was hinting about how to do it, and I will give a little clearer hint, I hope. Your code will need to be something like,

this.pirate add Keylistener: declare procedure KeyPressed, with parameter KeyEvent w
do in order
Here is where you will need to choose whether to move the pirate or not.

You will need to choose from the list(image attached) one that will let you choose "if ___ is TRUE do ___" and "if ___ is FALSE do ___ (in your case, nothing)"

If my hint wasn't good enough, just post another message, and I will tell you the WHOLE step-by-step (maybe).

Hope this helps!

Thank you, I actually managed to figure it out a while ago now. XD
The main issue was that i didn't know if you put an if then statment inside you can change it to specific keys. Now my issue is that controling a character is, terrible. Lol. Bad, maybe I can find a solution, thanks guys!

You're welcome. You might be interested in this thread: http://www.alice.org/community/showthread.php?t=4990, about the Sims people in Alice 3 walking.

Sorry I still very new at this. I have read the post over and over again and have yet to figure out how to choose a key. I understand what both of you are saying about having an if statement but I do not understand how to write it. If you could help me I would be great-full. Thanks, Jasen

How do I set my key event to "w"?
