system

im working on a system for babylon but i need to know somthing. I want it so it can detect when a player hits a key and it does somthing. So say a player pushes a + up at the same time and i want it to show sprites 2 then 3. How would i make it so it did this in real time? My guess is timeouts but im not sure :(

It is probably something simple like keydown...... for example:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (keydown(keynumber)&&keydown(keynumber()){

//commands here sor gosh sakes;

}

Like something like that? Or please explain yourself better.

but i think it needs to constantly check to see if they are pushing it

if so then just add a timeout loop

oh, okay, well, you have to be more specific, as I remember, if you want it to do that, it would go something like this, but you may revise all you want, because I am making this up as I go.:

PHP Code:


		
			
while (keydown(keyname)&&(keydown(name)){

if (keydown(name)&&keydown(name)){

//commands here,

//like the sprites and stuff like that, this in

//a loop, but with an 'if' command,

//so only if, beacuse I found that a plain

// 'while' loop seems to not work right on some

//occasions. Just put in stuff like 

playersprite=spritename;

 }

}

timeout = 0.05;

And that outhgt to do it, although I don't exactly know what you mean, but that is what I am getting out of what you need.

I don't believe you would need a timeout, an if (keydown(#)) should just work without any loop.

And I believe yours would lag a lot.

keydowns never really work correctly unless they're in a timeout loop.

they might work more accuratley, but they'll function the same

Couldnt you possibly do something different than a timeout? Possibly if (hasweapon) etc?

NPC Code:



if (created || playerenters) {

  this.keys={0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};

  timeout=0.05;

}

if (timeout) {

  GetKeys();

  DoActions();

  timeout=0.05;

}

function GetKeys() {

  for (i=0;i<11;i++) {

    this.keys[i]=keydown(i);

  }

}

function DoActions() {

  if (this.keys[0]==1 && this.keys[6]==1) {

    DoStuff;

  }

}

Try that
