Key numbers?

Hey guys, jamerson here. I am making a movement system that will make the players movement faster then the default, and I need to know:

What are the key names for up,down,left, and right? I am going to do keydown but I can't seem to get it right.

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks much,

You should probably go for keydown(), the numbers to use with it are the same as the direction numbers of players/npcs (0-3).

You could use a loop like such:

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onKeyPressed() {

  for (temp.key = 0; temp.key < 4; temp.key++) {

    if (keydown(key)) { //If the player has pressed a movement key

      //Do Stuff

    }

  }

}

If I remember correctly, the onKeyPressed() keycodes are 37, 38, 39 and 40.

Hmm? The code I posted works just fine.

Yes, because you are using keydown(). If you use the onKeyPressed(temp.keycode) parameter, then temp.keycode will probably be 37-40 for the D-pad.

Well if he's making a movement system he's going to want to check for the keys in a timeout anyway, or else you get weird holding behavior.

Ya, onKeypressed() functions off of the keyboard preferences on the OS, much like actual typing. So if you have onKeypressed(), and you hold down S, it will input S, then after a moment repeatedly call the function over and over, just like holding down S would do in a text editor. The speed of which it does this depends purely on how the persons keyboard is set-up, so it would not function the same for everyone -- not ideal for movement at all.

GraalControl.onKeyDown and GraalControl.onKeyUp should work well.

on another subject, isn't keydown vastly superior since it will work if players choose to remap their keys?

Keycode check if anyone needs :)

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerChats()

{

  if(player.chat == "/keycheckon") {

    this.on = true;

    setTimer(.05);

  }

  else if(player.chat == "/keycheckoff") {

    this.on = false;

  }

}

function onTimeout()

{

  if(this.on) {

    if(player.chat != "/keycheckoff")

    player.chat = "Code:" SPC code SPC "Key:" SPC key;

  }

  setTimer(.05);

}

Yes, but it can get problematic when you want to support more keys than Graal lets you control.

Also, it is awkward to have an event-based system when limited by polling for checking the input.

keydown has its merits, but there are definitely cases where you would want to use onKeyPressed or GraalControl.onKeyDown.
