Great to hear from you Demolition Man, Devero, and ! 🙂 > [@Diat Funa;176293](#): > > Hi ! Many thanks for your Rebindable Key System. > > 1- If I press K when I walk, the character keeps walking. It’s easy to fix. > 2- Is it possible to avoid multiple key binding? At the moment we can use the same Input Key for every action… You have the whole project as a download, do whatever you want to it! I personally like having ability to bind same key to multiple actions, its really important in games that have multiple modes. You can stop the action from firing based on some internal way of tracking what game mode you are in. > [@Kris;176269](#): > > I planned on adding proper key binding this week, so your timing is awesome 🙂 > > And thank you for your earlier work on GetAllWidgetsOfClass() and explanation behind its use. > I’m now using it for a basic loading screen in Ground Branch. > Works well 🙂 You’re welcome Kris! > [@Jacky;176308](#): > > Thanks a lot !

One thing I just noticed is that this implementation doesn’t include axis mappings - e.g. MoveForward. I’m sure will sort that though 😛 ---

> [@;176662](#): > > Yea I didnt do Axismappings yet, and that will be more C++ to do that 🙂 Yep. Looking at other potential issues too, such as duplicate entries for Stop/Start commands etc. Can be fixed when input component is init’d, but it may pay to create a way to bind two or more actions under to key. Looking at the UT source, they’ve have a system for this, but you have to manually put them together. Hmm… ---

Here it is a screenshot of a modified version that adds the axis mapping: ![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/4/9/8/498c1effd301d2e734a8224db017abd5ef616018.jpeg) Of course, its not supposed to have MoveRight1.0, MoveRight-1.0 etc. I am trying to pass it into a “Find Text in Localization table” Blueprint node to get a proper command name. Has anyone had any luck using one? Can you actually set the Namespace & Key manually so you can test things properly? Can’t seem to info on it speficically, though I have found the GatherText commandlet thingy. And who do you think I came across why looking into it? You guessed it… . The bugga gets everywhere! 🙂 ---
