How to simulate a spacebar keystroke with mouse

Is it possible to simulate a spacebar keystroke with a left mouse click. I am making a game that lets you use both the keyboard and a mouse to control the firing of the weapons.

Why not just do the "spacebar is pressed OR left mouse button is pressed"?

I did not know they put the OR in yet. If I can I would do it that way. Is the OR, Else commands in a plugin?

Oh, right, Construct 2. Well, just create two events, for spacebar and for left mouse click.

Or, alternatively, two separate events that set a variable whenever such a key is pressed and then you check that variable. Don't forget to reset it afterwards.

Actually, a local variable within event group would do just fine, it automatically resets each tick.

Thanks Mipey for your time and help on this.
