RegisterKeyMapping - Get the right hash to read the current binding

Markus1812 · 2021-03-01T10:19:14.907Z

Hey!
Currently I am trying to get the current key binding for a custom binding set by RegisterKeyMapping. I have read here Create GET_KEY_MAPPING - #2 by TheIndra that every key registered with RegisterKeyMapping can be accessed by the joaat hash of the command.

Create GET_KEY_MAPPING

If you were using scaleform you can display it by getting the joaat hash of the command and then e.g. ~INPUT_C524BF85~

So when I register a key mapping like this:
RegisterKeyMapping('+handsup', 'Hands Up', 'keyboard', 'i')

and caluclate the joaat hash for handsup:
JOAAT hash for "handsup" is "7066e9f8" | Md5Calc.com
I would expect that ~INPUT_7066E9F8~ in a help text should show me the key “I”. But it is just blank. ~INPUT_CONTEXT~ on the other hands shows the E button.

SetTextComponentFormat("STRING");
AddTextComponentString("Key: ~INPUT_7066E9F8~");
DisplayHelpTextFromStringLabel(0, 0, 1, -1);

In addition to that, deterministic_bubble wrote in the same post, that to get the normal keys, there is a function “get instructional button”.

Create GET_KEY_MAPPING

The same thing you’d do for normal keys (get instructional button) should work for the hash here.

I would guess that he means GetControlInstructionalButton - FiveM Natives @ Cfx.re Docs

GetControlInstructionalButton(padIndex: number, control: number, p2: Player);

but that takes an integer as the second parameter? I already tried to convert the joaat hash to decimal (1885792760) but that returns null.

Am I missing something here or is this considered a bug?

I use this website to get the correct name; however, I have found in the past that for whatever reason, some strings just seem not to work, so it may be worth tweaking it slightly and seeing if that works for you.

Markus1812 · 2021-03-01T10:51:16.562Z

Ohh, that hashes generated by that site seem to work. Nice, thank you.

Do you have any idea how to get the key behind ~INPUT_A315A1FE~ into a string? I would like to pass the mapped key to Nui.

Like I mentioned above, I already tried to convert the hex part of the hash to decimal and to put it in GetControlInstructionalButton but that doesn’t seem to work.

hash | 0x80000000 or so I believe

Markus1812 · 2021-03-01T12:14:35.548Z

What I have tried:
RegisterKeyMapping('+handsup', 'Hands Up', 'keyboard', 'i')
+handsup should be ~INPUT_F53DC64D~. In the help text, that prints the correct Key.

So to get the key with GetControlInstructionalButton():
0xF53DC64D | 0x80000000 = -180500915

In JS:
console.log(GetControlInstructionalButton(2, -180500915, 1))
prints an empty string.

but hash | 0x80000000 seems to be correct.

Markus1812:

In JS:
console.log(GetControlInstructionalButton(2, -180500915, 1))
prints an empty string.

Would make sense, it seems this native is doing an explicit control ID check only allowing base game controls before passing to the hooked get-name function.

Will fix.

Been wanting to do something like this and came across. Has this ever been fixed?

BUMP

I know theres a way to grab it by precomputing the jenkins hash… But is this a native yet?

Not yet, but here I explain a little bit more about what you can do with it

[How-to] Advanced RegisterKeyMapping with NuiFocus in true Modding Tutorials

Hello I have seen that in the forum there are a lot of questions about RegisterKeyMapping, and the guide only mentions it in passing. And personally you should let a user edit the keys he is continuously using. That it would be nice if FiveM would allow multiple categories in the future to be able to configure it correctly and always have a prefix of “Fivem -”. Misuse of IsControlPressed There are many resources that use something similar to this: Citizen.CreateThread(function() while …

Is this fixed? I still get empty string in js
