Press Key Trigger: Capital Letters
Hi!
I am using the press key trigger in my storyline project. But when the user types in the letter using shift to capitalize it, the options don't show up. The options only appear when the user types in lower case or uses the capslock. Is there a way for the trigger to work for when the user types it in lowercase or uses shift to capitalize?
Thanks!

// Function to set the Storyline variable function setStorylineVariable(variableName, value) { GetPlayer().SetVar(variableName, value); } // Check if listeners are already added if (!window.keyListenersAdded) { // Combined event listener for keydown and keyup document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) { if (event.key === 'A' || event.key === 'a') { setStorylineVariable('isKeyAPressed', true); } }); document.addEventListener('keyup', function(event) { if (event.key === 'A' || event.key === 'a') { setStorylineVariable('isKeyAPressed', false); } }); // Mark listeners as added window.keyListenersAdded = true; }
Personal approach:
Introduce a new T/F variable with this JS script: When key A is pressed, set it to true; When released, set it to false.
The new trigger will be: When variable changes, if isKeyAPressed is true, [exec function here].
