Disable keys for custom ingame keybinds

[xJordannx 1]

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to disable a key's function, for example, if you press 1 on the numpad it will look to the left, but I have changed it so that when someone presses it, it says a sound, but it also looks to the left.

So for this example I'd want to remove it looking to the left.

Return true from the onKeyDown handler.

I modified a script that was posted a while back so I could block several keys easily

call with this, just include the key your trying to block

for left it would be just

null=[["LookLeft"]] execvm "disable.sqf";

for more keys

null=[["LookLeft","LookRight"]] execvm "disable.sqf";

to cancel I just use

 keybindings = [];

list of key codes

save as disable.sqf

// list of keys you can use
//http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_CfgDefaultKeysMapping
//
// Example the folowing keys should now not work
// null=[["Prone","Stand","reloadMagazine","getOver"]] execvm "disable.sqf";
//

if (isNull player) exitwith {} ;
_boundkeys = _this select 0;

keybindings = [];
{ keybindings = keybindings + [(actionKeys _x) select 0] } foreach _boundkeys;

dokeyDown={
    private ["_r"] ;
    _r = false ; 
   if ((_this select 1) in keybindings) then {
       // place your code here
       hint "down";
        _r = true;
     };
    _r;
} ;

dokeyUp={
    private ["_r"] ;
    _r = false ;
    if ((_this select 1) in keybindings) then {
        // place your code here
          hint "up";
          _r = true;
     };
    _r ;
} ;


//I don't know why a delay is necessary :-(
sleep 0.5;


(FindDisplay 46) DisplaySetEventHandler [
    "keydown",
    "_this call dokeyDown"
    ];

(FindDisplay 46) DisplaySetEventHandler [
    "keyup",
    "_this call dokeyUp"
    ];  

Probably not the best way of doing it but it does work for me.

Return true from the onKeyDown handler.

Could you explain how to do that?

Thanks.
