⚠

The action key array format is subject to change as development for 2.10 is ongoing.

Array - in format [mainKeyArray, comboKeyArray, isDoubleTap]:

• mainKeyArray: Array in format [dikCode, device, deviceId]:
  • dikCode: Number
  • device: String
  • deviceId: Number - only given if the device is a Joystick type
• comboKeyArray: Array identical to mainKeyArray - filled only if the action key is a key combination
  • dikCode: Number
  • device: String
  • deviceId: Number - identical to mainKeyArray's deviceId as it is impossible to use two different Joystick devices in a key combination
• isDoubleTap: Boolean - is the action key a double-tap. Only possible when there is just the Main Key, as key combinations cannot have a double-tap flag

Examples

Example 1:

To retrieve the following key's data, use the property name without 'key':

keyWatch[] = { 24 };

actionKeysEx "Watch"; // [[[24, "KEYBOARD"], [], false]]

Example 2:

private _result = actionKeysEx "OpticsMode"; // [[[129,"MOUSE_BUTTON"],[29,"KEYBOARD"],false],[[181,"KEYBOARD"],[],false]]
