Solve : Number of Key Funtions????

Answer» Hi, not sure where this should be so move it if need be. Okay I need to know if you can change a computer or keyboard, whichever, to perform more than two functions at once?

So to add to this and MAKE it less muddy, here is the situation. I am using an online site to play video games. I think they call it playing in the browser. Anyway, if any of you know the video game "Illusion of Gaia" then you know about the "Spin Dash" attack. It requires you to hold down one key, while alternating two others which make the character spin. Then you let go of the two while still holding one and then selecting a direction key. As you select the direction key the game character is still spinning.

Now I can get him to spin but he doesn't do what he should afterwards. I was told that it is most likely because keyboards are limited to two key functions. Ergo... my question. Can I change that to three?

I hope that isn't too convoluted a question.

THANKS guys and dolls... The standard keyboard on the PC is very versatile. Be aware that some kinds of games will 'flush' the keyboard buffer to prevent the user from storing sequences ahead.

Yes, thee are programs to automate keyboard functions and type sequences very rapidly.

However, there is a problem here. You want to get an advantage in a on-line game. That is cheating. We do not HELP people cheat on-line games.

If you has a legit resewn to automate your keyboard, we could help you.

it is not an online game. What they don't mention is that Illusion of Gaia is a game for the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System). They are playing it online likely through one of the many websites which have an online SNES EMULATOR that allows anybody to select and play any of the games from the system.

Thing is, their issue probably isn't related to that. It sounds like the issue is Key rollover. It sounds like their keyboard has 2-key rollover (excepting, presumably, keys such as Shift, Alt, and Control). Coincidentally, when SNES emulators were starting to gain popularity about a decade ago, one of the common tells that somebody was playing Chrono Trigger via an emulator was if they complained about a certain segment of the game; the segment required pressing L, R, and A simultaneously. On the SNES controller this is no problem. But most players were mapping their controls to the keyboard, and often without regard for key rollover; so they ended up not being able to pass that part and then complaining online.

Now, all that in mind, The answer is pretty simple- This is a property of the keyboard itself, and is not something that can be changed via software. If you want more rollover you'll need to look into purchasing a new keyboard that supports it.

If the website emulator you are using supports configuration you can try mapping keys to keys such as Shift, Control, and Alt. These tend to work independently.
