How to Overwrite Game Key Bindings?

[Ulico]

I'm working on a mod that allows you to lock a key so you don't have to hold it down physically. For example if I press W and Insert (the key that activates the lock which I will probably change later) is will continue to pitch down until I hit the home key (again, just a key that wasn't being used by the game.) This is my goal at least. The problem is when I do this, the W key takes its main purpose and stops pitching when I let go. I've tested out other keys that are not being used and my plugin does work. How do I tell the game to use my command for a key as oppose to the default one?

public void UpdateLockKeyPitchUp()        
          {
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S) && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Insert))


                FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.OnFlyByWire += LockKeyPitchUp;
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Home))


                FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.OnFlyByWire -= LockKeyPitchUp;
            }

Earlier I have this code:

public void LockKeyPitchUp(FlightCtrlState state)        
         {
            { state.pitch = 1; }
         }

The issue is that your code is never triggering.

Input.GetKeyDown is only True for a single update frame so even though you are holding the key down, .GetKeyDown is false. As you physically can't press the keyboard keys within the same 1/50th of a second (how long a single update frame lasts) your IF statement never triggers.

You need to use .GetKey on the Insert check as .GetKey is true as long as the key is held down.

When checking modified inputs like this, modifier keys need to all use .GetKey while only the main key gets .GetKeyDown.

If you need an example I do this in AGX and can dig up the code for you.

Thanks, I'll try this out later.
