Hotkey: Space Bar

[Aizen]

Okay, here's my problem. I need to use the space bar as a hotkey for an item.
I can't use Esc (player skips a cinematic) or the arrow keys, because they're already in use.
Is there a way I can make the space bar a hotkey?

Sadly, I think it's impossible.

What are you trying to do with it?

Maybe you could trigger it so that like "if spacebar is pressed" and then you have your actions.

Can you give us more information about what you are trying to do with the spacebar thing?

There is no "A Player presses space"-event or similar.

It is impossible to make spacebar use item, but you can always set spacebar point over an item if it is on ground. If you are making som capture the flag, then you also could set spacebar point over an unit if unit is carrying the flag.

I've seen the shift key used as a hotkey, but I have no idea how.

Wc3 lets you assign your own hotkeys and in those cases where it isn't possible you can remap your keyboard. That is nothing we map makers have any control over.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I meant that there is a wc3 custom game where pressing shift while selecting a certain shop will make you purchase a certain item. In short, shift is that item's hotkey. I only know how to set alphabetical hotkeys through the object editor, so this confuses me.

I'm also curious, and I've seen a map where ctrl + c was a hotkey. It was a map with a bunch of systems in it, but I can't remember which ones. I believe it was one of the handle attaching/unit attaching systems, since it had a dialog showing how many attachments there were.

I think ctrl + c is used for unlocking a locked camera view.

Yea, but you have to make that in the World Editor.
