Hotkeys

[Han5678]

I have made hotkeys for items before and they work. I made i binoculars cog hooked it up and it did not even show up on the hotkey menu. This problem has happened to me I would have to say at least 20 times. I have had to trash some good projects because of that. I want to know what it is could someone help me. I put this under cog because i thought it might have something to do with my cog even though i don't see how that is possible since i set my bins up correctly.

Here is the code could you scan over it for mistakes.

Read this (http://millennium.massassi.net/document/tutorial.shtml?Tutorial=HotKey).

You need a jkstrings.uni.
And from the next time, put your code in a
\[code\] tag.

ok i your tutorial doesn't help it says in section 2 "scroll down unti you see" see what?!? Then it tells me to paste something, what do i paste?

[Hideki]

ahh, well, hehe, hmm maybe I lost those lines when I converted them into JavaScript, now it doesn't make sense!

So I fixed it. Even the files were linked wrong, oh well, things happen, now it works.
