I'm trying to set spacebar as the hotkey in buttons for an ability

But its not working

Its probably because spacebar is used for centering the camera

So I went into triggers, and put in disable alert UI frame

and also in data editor the Calert and unchecked the flags

But the spacebar hotkey for the ability still doesnt work

Anyone know how to do this?

There are spacebar events for triggers!

What's your localisation? Blizzard sucks with translation.

In german the spacebar is called "Weltraum" which can be literally translated to space, but it means cosmic space.

Edit: Ah, now I get it XD

But like I said before, make an event trigger with used key - spacebar and then unit do order.

yes there is spacebar events for triggers, but keyboard input events have a 1 second or so delay on bnet online with other players, which is kinda bad for a action game

with data editor there is no delay

So does anyone have an inkling of an idea to set spacebar as an ability hotkey?

buump...

so does anyone have any ideas how to disable the alert space hotkey

so that you can set an ability button hotkey as space?

(because when player presses key space event trigger, lags and has delay on bnet)

This might help

edit:

I found exactly what you wanted:

I've used the search and found those topics before, and those topic methods don't work...

Setting max and min pan duration only prevents the camera from moving when you hit space...

However, spacebar is still associated first priority with camera alert pan, and so pressing spacebar still tries to camera alert pan and doesn't do the ability (hotkey of spacebar)

There must be a way to disable the alert space hotkey, allowing for an button ability to use the spacebar right?

Any further help is greatly appreciated!~~

@HatsuneMikuMegurine: Go

go to data editor go to alerts and find the alert for when ur base is underattack or when ally or unit is under attack there will be multiple ones and in primary action uncheck all. Might be better to just uncheck all for all the alerts if u want.

edit: you can also uncheck display to self and other in the display tab

@gamfvr: Go

Did that method work for you?

Because I tried changing all 124 alerts, unchecking primary, secondary, and display

And it does not work

Attached is test map where I changed all the alerts, and the marine stimpack (with hotkey set as spacebar) does not work when spacebar is pressed

this is sort of last resort but you could have it so that if spacebar is pressed, the location of the current camera position is saved (a region is moved there, or u put the coordinates in a vairable,etc.) then immediately moved back to that spot from wherever the camera tries to move to... so its a quick back and forth sort of thing...

last resort rly...

@iE4TM4PS: Go

the camera moving or not moving is not the problem

its the fact that spacebar is associated with camera alert in the first place

so any ability with button hotkey spacebar doesnt work

cause any spacebar press you do, does the the camera alert instead of ability
