CustomInputPrototype 'custom-input' changed

Used for custom keyboard shortcuts/key bindings in mods. The key associated with the custom input can be changed in the options. This means that key_sequence is simply the default key binding.

Properties

key_sequence :: string

The default key sequence for this custom input. Use "" (empty string) for unassigned.

Use "mouse-button-2" etc for mouse buttons, mouse-button-3 for middle mouse button. Use "mouse-wheel-up", "mouse-wheel-down", "mouse-wheel-left", "mouse-wheel-right" for mouse wheel.

" + " is used to separate modifier keys from normal keys: "ALT + G".

For modifier keys, the following names are used: "CONTROL", "SHIFT", "ALT", "COMMAND".

A key binding can contain an unlimited amount of modifier keys (listed above) but only one normal key (listed below).

These names are available for the normal keyboard keys

alternative_key_sequence :: string optional

The alternative key binding for this control. See key_sequence for the format.

controller_key_sequence :: string optional

The controller (game pad) keybinding for this control. Use "" (empty string) for unassigned.

" + " is used to separate modifier buttons from normal buttons: "controller-righttrigger + controller-a".

For modifier buttons, the following names are used: "controller-righttrigger", "controller-lefttrigger".

A key binding can contain an unlimited amount of modifier buttons (listed above) but only one normal button (listed below).

These names are available for the normal controller buttons

controller-b
controller-x

controller-back

controller_alternative_key_sequence :: string optional

The alternative controller (game pad) keybinding for this control. See controller_key_sequence for the format.

linked_game_control :: LinkedGameControl optional

Default: ""

When a custom-input is linked to a game control it won't show up in the control-settings GUI and will fire when the linked control is pressed.

Example

key_sequence = "",
linked_game_control = "clear-cursor"

consuming :: ConsumingType optional

Default: "none"

Sets whether internal game events associated with the same key sequence should be fired or blocked. If they are fired ("none"), then the custom input event will happen before the internal game event.

enabled :: bool optional

Default: true

If this custom input is enabled. Disabled custom inputs exist but are not used by the game. If disabled, no event is raised when the input is used.

enabled_while_spectating :: bool optional

Default: false

enabled_while_in_cutscene :: bool optional

Default: false

include_selected_prototype :: bool optional

Default: false

If true, the type and name of the currently selected prototype will be provided as "selected_prototype" in the raised Lua event. This also works in GUIs, not just the game world.

This will also return an item in the cursor such as copper-wire or rail-planner, if nothing is beneath the cursor.

item_to_spawn :: ItemID optional

The item will be created when this input is pressed and action is set to "spawn-item". The item must have the spawnable flag set.

action :: `"lua"` or `"spawn-item"` or `"toggle-personal-roboport"` or `"toggle-personal-logistic-requests"` or `"toggle-equipment-movement-bonus"` optional

Default: "lua"

A Lua event is only raised if the action is "lua".

block_modifiers :: bool optional new

Default: false

If true, when the shortcut is activated, the modifiers used for this shortcut can't be re-used to press something else until unpressed. The example where this is useful is ALT+A to activate spidertron remote, where ALT is consumed, so pressing right mouse button before the ALT is unpressed will not trigger pin creation (ALT + right mouse button), but send the selected unit instead.

Overridden Properties

name :: string

Unique textual identification of the prototype. May only contain alphanumeric characters, dashes and underscores. May not exceed a length of 200 characters.

For a list of all names used in vanilla, see data.raw.

It is also the name for the event that is raised when they key (combination) is pressed and action is "lua", see Tutorial:Script interfaces.
