I want to get the character that the user pressed on the keyboard.
I am using some code posted here on the forum, but the value is always > 128.
How to get the character the user pressed?
channel = bc.GetLong(c4d.BFM_INPUT_CHANNEL)
print "channel: ", channel
if channel<128: # ascii key code
chr = str(unichr(channel))
print chr
if chr=='B':
return True

Hello,
to get the string representation of the character pressed use BFM_INPUT_ASC. You see how it is used in the Liquid Painter tool example.
Best wishes,

Thanks.
I can now use it in a commandplugin message:
dev = bc.GetInt32(c4d.BFM_INPUT_DEVICE)
if dev == c4d.BFM_INPUT_KEYBOARD:
print "Keyboard, qual, VALUE: ", bc.GetInt32(c4d.BFM_INPUT_QUALIFIER), bc.GetString(c4d.BFM_INPUT_ASC)
return True
but it is not working in the coremessage of a message plugin.
I am doing this because the message plugin always detects the keyboard and my own plugin only when it is active.
Is a ">" detected, then a messsage is send from the message plugin to my own pluhin.
