ord(str);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| str | The string with which to find the Unicode code. |
Returns: Real
This function takes a string (of a single character only) and
returns the Unicode value for that character. In this way you can,
for example, store as integers individual key presses, and it is
most commonly used by the
keyboard_check() functions.
if keyboard_check(ord("W"))
{
y -= 4;
}
This will move the calling instance four pixels upwards if the key W is held down.
