Key Handler

[SantoJ 0]

I am trying to open a dialog with the O key using:
 

waitUntil {!isNull(findDisplay 46)};
(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown","_this call keyspressed"];

keyspressed = {
    _keyDik = _this select 1;
    _shift =_this select 2;
    _ctrl = _this select 3;
    _alt = _this select 4;
    _handled = false;
    switch (_this select 1) do {

	case 24: {//U key
		if (_shift) then {
			createDialog "SANT_Loadout_Screen"; 
		};
    };
	_handled;
};

however nothing happens when the O key is pressed

It looks like you have missed something at the end if your keypressed function.

 

keyspressed =
{
	_keyDik = _this select 1;
    _shift =_this select 2;
    _ctrl = _this select 3;
    _alt = _this select 4;
    _handled = false;

    switch (_keyDik) do 
	{

	case 24: {
		if (_shift) then
		{
			hint "Shift + O KEYPRESS DETECTED";
			createDialog "SANT_Loadout_Screen"; 
		};
    };
		_handled;
	};
};	//	D'oh!

waitUntil {!isNull(findDisplay 46)};
(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown","_this call keyspressed"];

Pressing Shift + O should open up your Dialog... As long as there are no issues with that.

Try:

 

keyspressed =
{
	_keyDik = _this select 1;
    _shift =_this select 2;
    _ctrl = _this select 3;
    _alt = _this select 4;
    _handled = false;

    switch (_keyDik) do 
	{
		case 24: { if (_shift) then { hint "Shift + O KEYPRESS DETECTED"; createDialog "SANT_Loadout_Screen"; }; };
	};
	_handled; // Moved outside of switch.
};

waitUntil {!isNull(findDisplay 46)};
(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", { _this call keyspressed; }];

That works thank you!
