How to diable Hotkeys

[Dadasas]

I really need to be able to turn off the hot keys, like if I want to drive a car with "M" but I also want to drag, it changes to tool to move! Help please?

[tatt61880]

With Algodoo, the code below turns off hot key for move tool ("M").

Code: Select all

Tools.MoveTool.hotkey = ""


NOTE: This setting will be saved into config.cfg, not into scene file. i.e. This script affect only you. So, when you want to upload the scene, I suggest to change the key to drive your car.

The code below will re-set hot key for move tool.

Code: Select all

Tools.MoveTool.hotkey = "m"


[Dadasas]

Thank you, is there an easy way to disable all of them?

[Mystery]

Beyond typing them all out, no. You wouldn't want to anyway it would mean your version of Algodoo is different to everyone else's. So if you make a wicked scenes that you move with "M" and still need to use the drag tool it will work great for you but be a bitch for everyone else. Not to mention all the scenes that uses the hotkeys will be useless for you.

[Dadasas]

Yeah I know what you mean Mystery.
They should add this in the next version of Algodoo.

Then, bind two keys that you don't use in a game, script the one to disable the the hotkeys in question, and the other to re-enable them, and tell the player to press the disable key when he wants to play, and befor he changes anything, to pres the enable key. Just a thought, don't know the scripting.

[Someone Else]

No, they should just add a checkbox in the Options menu to enable/disable hotkeys.

sorry for the Über bump, but is there a Tools.Hotkey command that is true or fasle that turns all hotkeys on or off depending on whether it is true or false?

As well as I know, you have to turn on/off the hotkey one by one.

I'll tell you some hint for exploring thyme.

1. You can search command by inputting "/words" (e.g. /hotkey will show all variable which include "hotkey" in the variable name or the description).

2. In console, tab key is very useful.
[Tab]-key will complete words and/or show command list.

3. There exists thyme command list [Thyme][1.5.61]Thyme Command/Variables List
This list doesn't have newest command but will be useful.

4. And recent changes: Phun / Algodoo - Thyme variable changelog

Please explore thyme more and more. Then, you can become a thyme expert.

Thanks for /words bit Tatt. And yeah, i searched quite a while. Thyme expert, hmm.

I think you can go to the config and delete all the keys or something. That would erase alle the keys

[FuzzyLogicBrain]

I know, but if you want to put it in a game, you script the changes in algodoo, and then script them back, i was thinking of a key bind, but i cant seem script a key bind, so i was hoping for a varible that was quick and easy to change, changing the hotkeys, and then back again, keeping the hotkeys, even if the hotkeys were not the original hotkeys, so i tried to make a custom array veriable with the most important hotkeys in it, (for instance a s d and x c for other reasons) so i could change all the hotkeys needed back to what they where before the change, so i wouldnt get rage reports in it.
