Anyone know of a method using TakeControls where I can take Shift + Left Arrow -or- Right Arrow and have it fire the control event?

Thanks in advance.

Take controls can only cater for the following

CONTROL_FWD forward control (W or up arrow)
CONTROL_BACK back control (S or down arrow)
CONTROL_LEFT move left control (shift + A or left arrow)
CONTROL_RIGHT move right control (shift + D or right arrow)
CONTROL_UP up control (E or PgUp)
CONTROL_DOWN down control (C or PgDn)
CONTROL_ROT_LEFT rotate left control (A or left arrow)
CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT rotate right control ( D or right arrow)
CONTROL_LBUTTON left mouse button control
CONTROL_ML_LBUTTON left mouse button control with the avatar in MouseLook

So I'm afraid you cannot detect the shift key being pressed.
