VX ACE: Shift as event triggers

[Cap_]

I am making a LISA style sidescrolling game, and to do that I need a way to use the shift button in my events as a trigger. Is there any way to do that?

Thanks, but i'm actually looking for a way to use Shift inside Events like the conditional branch

You could try Event Trigger Labels by HimeWorks: http://himeworks.com/2012/10/event-trigger-labels/

In a Conditional Branch you can put this:

Input.isPressed('shift')

In a Conditional Branch you can put this:

Input.isPressed('shift')

When i do it this happens:

I seem to recall the Input module in Ace to only recognize specific button presses, and even then, they are, for the most part, attributed to the virtual controller.

Saying that, the "Shift" button is, by default, attributed to pressing the virtual button "A", if memory serves. So, you could do it through event-commands. Such as a Conditional Branch checking if "A" has been pressed.

*Edit: My mistake. Shift is a keypress that the Input module recognizes. I'm seeing an Input.press?(<symbol>) method in the help-file, though. So, it would probably look more like...

Input.press?(:SHIFT)

...so.

*Edit2: Confirmed.

Sorry - I didn't realise you were asking about Ace when I looked that up. The command I gave you is for MV

It worked, thanks!
