input custom input setting for user

[Anicet]

Hi, I am trying to make a menu which lets the user bind the in-game inputs. But I have no idea how to do that... Maybe there is a way to detect which input he presses and then use this information when creating input...

Thanks beforehand.

Hello,

I would do something like that :

-> set a callback to the "onkeypress" event, this function will detect which key was pressed and then call the associated action
-> in the user cookies, make a hash keycode=>event (eg: A is 'move_left')
-> then in your callback function when you detect A you know that the user wants to 'move_left'

of course when your user want to change his bindings you have to change the cookie too

Hope it helps

Thanks Andy, but my question really was how to do your  onkeypress callback thing. In fact I'm a beginer with phaser and I don't know the syntax for this one

Can be done with Keyboard#addCallbacks, e.g., 

game.input.keyboard.addCallbacks(console, console.log);
// Now hit some keys and look in the console

But I'd save this work for later. First get your game working with just one set of keys.

I was just planning on the paper all the in-game features so I wanted to know if it is possible. Now I get it ! Thanks !
