Ear and holster script

[Liamsmith 1]

Hi i was wondering where i could find an holster and ear plug script for Eden editor. I tried to have a look around for one but i couldn't really find one that i would like.  Sorry for asking so many questions new to scripting and mission file editing.

 

For the ear plug script i would like it to be shift o to insert and remove the ear plugs. Something similar to this - https://pastebin.com/kYMtZ1MP

 

For the holster i would like it so shift h or something similar would put your gun on your back and pull it out.

Thank you however say if i wanted to have shift O to put in the ear phones. How would that be done?

findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler [
	"KeyDown", 
	{
		params ["_keyCode", "_shift"];
		//Add another if for each key you want recognised. 
		If(_shift && keyname _keyCode == "o") then {
			//Do stuff 
		};
	}
];

Could you give me a bit more info. Sort of confused with it. Mainly with checking _shift and _key code and adding another if.

I`ve had a look but it still confuses me. I dont understand the variables. I dont get the _shift and _key code.

They are passed by the eventhandler into the code automatically. For the keyDown event the following parameters are passed to the code in the magic variable _this:

_this select 0 : Keycode - The key's keyboard code or DIK code. Essentially the digital representation for the key you pressed.

_this select 1 : Shift - State of the shift button as a boolean (true/false).  Holding shift while pressing a key will make this return true.
_this select 2 : Ctrl - Same as Shift but for Ctrl button.
_this select 3 : Alt - Same as Shift but for Alt button.

 

To extract these I use the params command which parses _this into localized variables ready for use. 

params ["_key", "_shift", "_ctrl", "_alt"];

which is the same as

private _key 	= _this select 0;
private _shift 	= _this select 1;
private _ctrl 	= _this select 2;
private _alt 	= _this select 3;

 

A more extended example:

findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler [
	"KeyDown", 
	{
		params ["_keyCode", "_shift", "_ctrl", "_alt"];
		
		If(keyname _keyCode == "y") then {
			//Y is pressed and doesn't care about shift ctrl and alt states.
		};
		If(_shift && keyname _keyCode == "i") then {
			//Shift + I
		};
		If(!_alt && keyname _keyCode == "o") then {
			//O is pressed and Alt is not
		};
		If(ctrl && _shift && keyname _keyCode == "p") then {
			//Ctrl + Shift + P
		};
		If(!ctrl && !_shift && !_alt && keyname _keyCode == "p") then {
			//P is pressed and none of ctrl shift and alt are pressed.
		};
	}
