How to create an InputEventKey in Godot 4?

[dry lake]

HI!

With Godot 4 the "set_scancode" method disappeared from the gdscript API.
It was used to create an event and eg populate the InputMap singleton:

func _on_create_preset_input_pressed(): var new_input = InputEventKey.new() new_input.set_scancode(KEY_W) InputMap.add_action("move_up") InputMap.action_add_event("move_up",new_input)

I can't see an obvious and straightforward way of doing this in Godot 4 (except maybe with instancing the event and setting directly the key property?).

i think scancode was renamed to keycode in godot4? but the functions remain the same to my knowledge, just with a different name

i might be wrong about this though

but search for keycode in the documentation, it should help

thanks for replying!
yeah I've seen keycode in the InputEventKey class description.
but it is a property, and not a method.
That's what I said in the last sentence of my question post.
It is maybe the way to go now

It's a property in 3.5 as well

You can still use the setter function if you want, but it's better to use the property

well the set_scancode method is also renamed accordingly, its now set_keycode, at least as far as im aware

and it functions basically the same

actually it functions exactly the same if im not wrong

Yeah, I think the same, however it can be handy to have a method to make eg one liners to simplify code where it's adequate.

Ok, I'll try to go with the setter then, thanks for your help guys!🙃
