origins cant detect keypresses made in software

[imaradio]

i believe that origins cant detect keypresses made from software (at least in windows) i have tried to use 4 different python libraries and autohotkey, they all give the same result which is:

• minecraft detects it, i can tell as im pressing the hotbar keys (1 to 9) and they move the selected hotbar ingame
• origins doesnt detect it, i can tell as it doesnt execute the entity action in the power (the hotbar keys are the keybinds of some of the powers) the entity action is that it uses /playsound to play a note block harp sound

the powers do work, i can tell as if i press the key that python presses on my irl keyboard, it both moves the selected hotbar and plays the sound i am the origin, and it does have the powers

if anyone has an idea of a different way of "pressing" the keys, please let me know and ill be sure to try it

the python libraries i have tried are:

• pyautogui
• pynput
• pydirectinput
• win32com (i will send the code i used for this one)

win32com code:

import win32com.client
from time import sleep
sleep(2)
shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")
shell.SendKeys("2")

ahk script:

k::
Send, 1
return

i will attatch the python script and origin i have made (both are in the zip file)

context: i was trying to make a python script that detects when i press a key on my midi keyboard, this part works and i have tested it extensively i then tried to make it so that these notes could be heard in minecraft, i did this by making an origin with different powers that would activate when i press its keybind (for example, key.hotbar.1 plays a C) the different octaves would be controlled by a resource and the python script would shift between each octave, the script also presses the keybind needed for each power/note minecraft can detect the script pressing these keys, as it changes the selected hotbar though origins seemingly cant as it doesnt play the sound

All I really want to pitch in with this is that this is genuinely a really cool concept.

But this'd unfortunately probably require a rewrite to the keypress system, because I think that Apoli checks for the keys themselves as opposed to if the Minecraft input is pressed I'm pretty sure.

that is a shame, ill probably rewrite it to just work as a standalone datapack when i get the motivation to

[imaradio]

revisiting this, honestly im kinda tempted to make a system where i have like string or smth similar attatched to the keys of the piano which would in turn bring down a weight on to the keyboard, thereby dodging the issue (and whole python program) entirely

im not too sure if its worth the effort though honestly...
