InputChar[edit]

function bool InputChar (int ControllerId, string Unicode)

Process a character input event (typing) routed through unrealscript from another object. This method is assigned as the value for the OnRecievedNativeInputKey delegate so that native input events are routed to this unrealscript function.

Parameters:

  • ControllerId - the controller that generated this character input event
  • Unicode - the character that was typed

Returns:

True to consume the character, false to pass it on.

InputKey[edit]

function bool InputKey (int ControllerId, name Key, Object.EInputEvent Event, float AmountDepressed, bool bGamepad)

Process an input key event routed through unrealscript from another object. This method is assigned as the value for the OnRecievedNativeInputKey delegate so that native input events are routed to this unrealscript function.

Parameters:

  • ControllerId - the controller that generated this input key event
  • Key - the name of the key which an event occured for (KEY_Up, KEY_Down, etc.)
  • EventType - the type of event which occured (pressed, released, etc.)
  • AmountDepressed - for analog keys, the depression percent.

Returns:

true to consume the key event, false to pass it on.

IsUIConsoleOpen[edit]
