Just a quick question but does anyone know how to impliment additional keys beyond directions for scripts that act on input controls?

try this page  AFAIK the controls listed there are the ONLY ones you can specify (arrow keys + PgUp/PgDown, and their equivalent letter shorcuts)

I worked on this for a bit and there is a work around. you can use gestures to make the character talk. and on other channals besides zero(90% sure didn't get around to actually testing it. back burner project).
so you're going to have to set up a listener to use the function keys, and have your customers activate gestures and/or memorize commands to use your products. it pretty much sucks but since when has LL cared about user friendliness(especially in cases where they aren't responsible for it). and don't forget what happens when you have key conflictions if someone else decides to use gesture keys just a complete user friendiness nightmare.
and gestures can be assigned up to the F36 key. F1-12, shift+Fwhatever and control+Fwhatever.
I'm still amazed in LL's grand and divine wisdom to only let us listen for keys that are used for control.
