How to do key combinations?

Unity Engine

I’m almost positive this should be right:

if((Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightControl) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftControl)))
            {
                Debug.Log("Control...");
                if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha1))
                {
                    Debug.Log("Success.");
                    BuildAlphaList(KeyCode.Alpha1);
                }
}

Obviously the code is in update…

When I press either of the controls it prints “Control…” just fine… When I press ‘1’, though, it doesn’t register the key as being pressed… Am I doing something wrong here?

2

Just a guess… Is it the editor shortcuts that are messing this up?

3

Epictickle might be right. Your code worked for me.

4

Well, that’s just great lol… It definitely isn’t working for me. Gonna try it in a build and post the results.

Hahah I just now realized that “EpicTickle” was the original poster.

Yeah, upload your scene and I’ll see if it works on my end.

6

Oh, my scene is quite huge lol. I’ll try to post a tiny repro project soon. See, I’m building an RTS, and right now I can’t figure out how to build units correctly. It’s really annoying me lol.

7

Control + number is used in the editor for switching windows. control + 1 will switch to the scene view. Try another modiefer like shift

8

Did that. It worked perfectly. Thanks element… So, can I assume that it will work in build mode with the control buttons?

9

I’m on a mac, maybe that’s why it worked for me. CTRL 1 doesn’t seem to do anything in the editor.

Good luck on your RTS!

I actually made an RTS Style Drag Select package. Check it out:

Lmao. Believe it or not I’m already using it! I didn’t know you were the author… I was having trouble getting one to work for myself and came across your implementation and loved it! The only thing I had to implement was a Select() method in your interface. Other than that, it worked like a charm!!

haha, awesome!

For anyone interested, this is my projects barebones:

I borrowed all of my icons from the internet for the time being. You’ll notice some of the icons come straight from C&C. I do not plan on releasing them this way, they are just placeholders so I could see what building/unit I was actually building lol. Still a lot left to do, but here’s an overview of the features so far:

There are 5 different building types at the moment. Names have been ripped from C&C as well, but I do not plan on keeping them this way. Those buildings are:

Construction Yard - Main base, need this to build anything.
Barracks - Land Unit Creation.
Refinery - For gathering resources (currency).
Power Plant - Adds energy to your base.
War Factory - Land Vehicle Creation.

As for Units, there are currently only 3:
Soldier - Most basic land unit.
Tank - Most basic vehicle unit (will probably change).
Harvester - Harvests resources for you and takes them back to base.

Unit creation queue works flawlessly. Building creation does not queue, and I do not plan on adding a queue for them.

Bringing your energy level below 0 will turn all power off to your base and will render buildings useless until you bring your energy level to a positive number by building power plants.

As of right now, you are allowed to bring your currency to a negative balance. I have yet to implement anything to catch that. Will probably be the next thing I do.

You may group units into different groups by pressing SHIFT + 1-9 on your keyboard. A single unit is allowed to be a part of multiple groups.

that’s about it so far. Building creation and placement is all set on a grid in which the tile size is 5x5, and you may not overlap buildings when placing them. If you right-click before you place a building, it will give you your money back and delete the building. As of yet, you cannot pause or cancel building by right-clicking the build button, since Unity doesn’t have built-in support for right-clicking buttons I will have to either wait for them to support it (which could possibly be never), or I can extend the Button class myself and do it, which is probably what will end up happening.

Pretty much, I have the basics of an RTS on my hands… xP
