How to replace arrow keys with wasd movement?

[pterodactyl]

Hello Im new to Phaser.

I'd like to replace arrow keys with wasd keys

This is my code:

	this.cursors = this.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys();
	 
	if (this.cursors.left.isDown) {
      this.ship.setAngularVelocity(-150);
    } else if (this.cursors.right.isDown) {
      this.ship.setAngularVelocity(150);
    } else {
      this.ship.setAngularVelocity(0);
    }
  
    if (this.cursors.up.isDown) {
      this.physics.velocityFromRotation(this.ship.rotation + 1.5, 100, this.ship.body.acceleration);
    } else {
      this.ship.setAcceleration(0);
    }
	

[prob]

this.input.keyboard.on('keydown_W', function (event) {

     // W key down

});

or

this.input.keyboard.on('keydown', function (event) {

     // Any key down, check event

});

	this.cursors = this.input.keyboard.addKeys(
{up:Phaser.Input.Keyboard.KeyCodes.W,
down:Phaser.Input.Keyboard.KeyCodes.S,
left:Phaser.Input.Keyboard.KeyCodes.A,
right:Phaser.Input.Keyboard.KeyCodes.D});

Uncaught ReferenceError: KeyCodes is not defined

Sorry I am new.

Ok, it worked.

Is there a better way to implement basic controls? I can't find tutorial about this for Phraser 3. Everywhere arrow keys.

Also documentation doesn't have examples

Just a vote for `createWASDKeys()` to compliment `createCursorKeys()`. It is certainly easy enough to add them, but would make beginner tutorials just a bit more concise.

The problem with something like this is that it's only useful for QWERTY keyboards, so a broader approach, like setting keys for each needed input seems to me like a better solution, even though that's a little more work.
