Ok, I have the Mouse Wheel Working, you can’t get the key, so you have to use the Mouse Wheel Delta to determine if its up/down. And I think your already using this, but for anyone reading this, to get when you use the Wheel, you have to get the Override OnMouseWheel. ![6af946fcd2963d4d06e5b5e66616ffd88cf03034.jpeg](https://d1ap1mz92jnks1.cloudfront.net/images/transparent.png) ---

Nice work, clever. Having trouble figuring out what you set the pin type to in the second one to get it to have the mouse key pair as output. Nevermind, it is type Key. ---

Quick question i hope! I used your rebinding library, which works very well. I am having issues with combinations of keys in a mapping though, such as CTRL + F etc… It does work in your example, but my key down event already gets triggered before i can press anything besides CTRL… It does work if i press the keys before i press the rebind button… Do you have anything special configured in your example project that i should know of? I am on version 4.8.3 by the way. I already tried using GetInputKeyTimeDown to give it time to get the additional keys as well, which i check in the keydown event, but it doesn’t get triggered often enough which makes the time for binding way too long. Thanks for any help! ---

If I’m reading this correctly, you’re trying to get a double binding right? (IE. RMB + G,) Or are you just trying to get CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, or CMD with a separate button? (G + ALT) If it’s the second, there are separate buttons you click to get those (to the right of the binding) As for the first, I don’t know if you can do a double binding (at least I can’t with my setup since I can only have one Key for the Make VictoryInput and there is no Append or anything to combine multiple Keys); although it sounds like you have it working sometimes > [@](#): > > It does work if i press the keys before i press the rebind button… Mind posting, and I’ll see if I can fix it in BPs, or we may need to re-code the Input to allow multiple keys/add a way to combine Keys! (Which I don’t even know if that’s possible since in the Project Settings, you’re only allowed to have one Key, unless I’m missing something!) ---

I am only looking into combinations of CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, or CMD and another key, which is supported by’s plugin. Note: you can push the button and press CTRL + F and it correctly marks the keybinding as being CTRL + F, no need for doing checking the checkbox. Somehow every UMG example i make myself doesn’t work as explained above. It suspect it has to do with the way combinations of keys are handled by UE4 ---

I think i found out what is the problem with my code compared that of. He keeps the binding widget active after the initial key press until you either close the menu or try to bind another key. This ensures that if i press ctrl + F it might not be registered correctly the first event, but afterwards its recognized. Its kind of lame that UE4 doesn’t recognize the combination keys within menu’s though and i now have to build in some delay to give the user the to press a combination instead. Update: i now have added a 0.5 second delay when ctrl, alt, shift or cmd is pressed to register a possible combination instead… Afterwards you have to reclick the button again if you want to rebind again, in’s implementation you can keep rebinding, but i don’t like this since you have to be able to navigate through my menu using keyboard/controllers as well. ---

Thanks so much for this! I’m having an issue, though, that I’m not sure if it’s actually doable or if I’ve just missed it somehow. Is there any way to bind click events? For example if I use the left mouse button to shoot a gun and then for some reason change that to shift, I can’t change it back to the left mouse button. Or can I simply disable the ability to change the binding of certain events? Thanks!! ---

Hello Halokllr! If you scroll up, I have 3 pictures on how to bind mouse clicks, mouse X, mouse Y, and Mouse Wheel! (the Wheel is a little further down than the others) As for your second Q, do you want to make certain keys not bindable? (like locking space to only jump) ---

It works for me, my bindings are still the same after I change them and then open a new level. They should not change on a new level since it actually changes the bindings in the project settings! Make sure they are saving when you set them (try them out before changing level) also do you have special options for level load? I don’t know if that would affect anything but worth a check.
