Keydown...

[Thak2]

A Keydown command for most every key on the keyboard would be useful... I dont know how hard itd be to do though.

[galen]

using the key's ASCII number will do it

032 = space
010/013 = carage return (LF/CR)
008 = BkSp
0;51 = F1
0;233 = é
etc...

[Thak2]

Thank you very much Galen!

El Very Useful *downloads* Why the code though?

[Thak2]

What is the ASCII number used with? I have tried keydown and #K, but I dont know why they aren't working... can you jst do a quick little example of the command to recognize it? thanks.

NPC Code:

---

ooga booga;

Blah, just fixed up Vermain's script for him.

I have tried those, they do not work, I have tried the following ways:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters || timeout) {

timeout = 0.05;

}

if (timeout && keydown(032)){

setplayerprop #c,test;

timeout = 0.05;

}

if (timeout && strequals(#K,032)){

setplayerprop #c,test;

timeout = 0.05;

}

Do these work for other people? I have tried other ASCII numbers for other keys, but for some reason it doesnt work at all...
I think somehow I have to use #K(key) with the brackets since message #K(050); works fine and siplays the number 2.

Blah, try using this code:

NPC Code:

---

if (created||timeout) {

  if (keydown(#K(050))) {

    message test!;

  }

  timeout = 0.05;

}

No, that doesnt work, I have tried numerous ways, the either end up with errors, or dont work at all.

[grim_squeaker_x]

I'll try some things myself now until I find one which works.

[grim_squeaker_x]

it probably doesn't work because it takes away the 0 in the actual script in the level itself (I checked that with the debugger), I'll try finidng a way around it. Hmm nope that can't be it either... Graal sees 050 and 50 as the same... Blah, I can't think of anything, except that you could use it to make a password hard to read like:

if (strequals(#c,#K(050)#K(132)) etc.
