Binding to shift key?

by Daniel Buckmaster · in Torque Game Engine · 12/23/2007 (12:37 am) · 2 replies

I've modified the engine to make the player use different movement speeds when a flag (mWalking) is set, and I have a console method to toggle the flag. I want to be able to have the player hold down shift to walk, but you can't bind to shift individually. What do I need to do here?

    Have you tried:

    moveMap.bind(keyboard, "rshift", doSomething);
    moveMap.bind(keyboard, "lshift", doSomethingElse);
