Description

Description:

Gives a broken down version of the return from actionKeys. Returns an array containing the breakdowns of the dikCodes of keys, buttons and combos assigned to the given user action. Action names can be found in config class ControllerSchemes or user action names or user profile, for example:

keyWatch[] = { 24 };

To retrieve the broken down value, use the property name without 'key': actionKeysEx "Watch"; // [[[24, "KEYBOARD"], [], false]] In addition, some of the actions are also listed in here: inputAction/actions

The Key Device can be one of several types:

• "KEYBOARD"
• "MOUSE_BUTTON"
• "MOUSE_AXIS"
• "JOYSTICK_BUTTON"
• "JOYSTICK_AXIS"
• "JOYSTICK_POV"
• "XINPUT" - (Xbox) Controller Input
• "TRACKER" - Motion Tracking (TrackIR, Tobii, etc.)

Syntax:

actionKeysEx userAction

Parameters:

userAction: String - user action name (see inputAction/actions)

Return Value:

Array of Arrays - using the following format for each action key:

⚠

The action key array format is subject to change as development for 2.10 is ongoing.

1. Main Key Array - Always given
   • Main Key DIK Code: Number
   • Main Key Device: String
   • Main Key Device ID: Number - Only given if the device is a Joystick type
2. Combo Key Array - Only if the action key is a key combination
   • Combo Key DIK Code: Number
   • Combo Key Device: String
   • Combo Key Device ID: Number - Would always be the same as the Main Key Device ID, as it is not possible to use two different Joystick devices in a key combination
3. IsDoubleTap Flag: Boolean - Action Key is a double-tap. Only possible when there is just the Main Key, key combinations can't have a double-tap flag

Examples

Example 1:

private _result = actionKeysEx "OpticsMode"; // [[[129,"MOUSE_BUTTON"],[29,"KEYBOARD"],false],[[181,"KEYBOARD"],[],false]]
