Disable keyboard press

[jaypee]

Hi guys I have recently finished creating an Opening Introduction and I want to disable the keyboard press command while it is playing is there a way to do it within events or will it need a js script? thanks in advance.

Why would you want to disable the keyboard? Without it, how is the player to advance the text?


If the issue is the player can move, that is because you used a parallel process instead of an autorun. if the issue is you want the text to be advanced at x speed, use the message codes to make it wait for 1 second (repeat it as many seconds as you need), then the code to not wait for input.

I tried using the message code /^/^/| but I do notice once the player press hold the space bar or enter key it speeds up the process I just want to disable the spacebar or enter key temporarily.

Hmmm...I thought that didn't happen except if you were waiting for text. See if you have a plug in that might be doing that. Maybe you can turn it off short term in that plug in?


Otherwise...I'm out of ideas and you'll need the plug in you requested.

If he was using a specifically-timed event (like I did in Ace) he will want the keyboard disabler to prevent the user interrupting or speeding up something that is set to happen at a specific time/speed.
