Get Control Text?

Is it possible to get or print the value of the control key assigned to the control name? Or is that too weird of a thing?

What I'm trying to do is create a user-friendly menu option where players can change the control keys.

This thread touches on something slightly similar to capture key presses- http://community.stencyl.com/index.php/topic,51961.0.html

You can record the key presses into attributes then use the 'simulate key press' block.

Thanks, I've seen and read those. I understand the Input events, but I want to do something different. On a created event, I want to get the character values as text so I can save/load the information, and display the keys on the menu screen from the start without having the player press any keys yet.

See the basic code attached. It records the input to a list so that they can be recalled later, it also draws it to screen.

Use don't need to use a 'when created' block.

Global attributes (the purple blocks) can easily be referred to from within different scenes.

If you want to assign multiple keys, you need a way of keeping track which control the current key press is for. I'd do this by having a button on screen for each control input you need and use an attribute to keep track of the last clicked button, then when a key is pressed record it to the right location in a list

Thanks guys for the response. Sorry for my late response; it's been a very busy week for me. I'll take a look at what both of you shared. Thanks again!
