KeysRealeased

[greggiles]

There is a function keyPressed(), but is there some sort of functinon of keyRealeased() ?

Or what is the closest function I can use?

Sorry, I know it seems like a dumb question. I'm just trying to learn.

There's no global event for when keys are being released. However, all GUI controls (including GraalControl) have an onKeyDown and an onKeyUp event, to be used like this:

PHP Code:

function GraalControl.onKeyDown(keycode,keystring,scancode) {
  // stuff
}

function GraalControl.onKeyUp(keycode,keystring,scancode) {
  // stuff
}

Can you further explain the keycode, keystring, and scancode? perhaps an example?

Just give this a shot:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function GraalControl.onKeyDown(keycode, keystring, scancode) { 
  player.chat = keycode SPC keystring SPC scancode; 
} 


Then hit a couple keys. You should be using keycode for compatibility reasons if possible, since that's what seems to be uniform across the different platforms.

Also note that if you're trying to replicate one of the default actions (movement, firing weapons, etc.) you should use keydown(num) so that it will work even if a player changes the default action keys.

UGH

I am having a lot of trouble here. I am trying to make a double dash sorta thing. So when you double tap keydown(3) or (1) it goes into a different event. (Where I would set a different Ani and the player.x value would be higher.)
