Keydown

[[email protected]]

Is there any way to get the keyname

keyname(int keycode) returns string

^Returns UP, LEFT, DOWN and RIGHT, from when a player is pressing the default keys to move.

from the function 'onKeyDown'

onKeyDown(keycode, key) 

mainly looking at the keycode, not the key.

Or, to just check if a player is pressing one of the detault keys set on Graals F3 options?

Not sure I completely understand what you're trying to do but I suppose you could do something like this:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function GraalControl.onKeyDown(kcode, kstring, scode)
{
 temp.keyList = {{38, 0}, {37, 1}, {40, 2}, {39, 3}}; //Up, Left, Down, Right
 
 for (i = 0; i < keyList.size(); i++)
  {
   if (keyList[i][0] == kcode)
    {
     player.chat = keyname(keyList[i][1]);
    }
  }
}

You're kidding- haha I love you

Thanks


Only one problem- it doesn't detect the arrow keys for 'I,J,K,L'- any solutions? lol

Again, assuming I'm understanding what you're trying to do, then the solution I posted above should work if you just add to the array. The array I posted will only read the directional keys since I just made a quick model but you can add the keycodes for 'i, j, k, l' and give them the same numbers as the directionals (0, 1, 2, 3), which should return 'Up, Left, Down, Right' or whatever when you press those keys.

You're not understanding- those are not the DEFAULT Graal controls.

Yes they are:

PHP Code:

keydown(int keynumber) - returns if the specified key is pressed (0..10: up, left, down, right, S, A, D, M, tab, Q, P) 


Those are the default keynumbers that correspond to the specified keynames, which is why if you did
player.chat = keyname(0); it would return 'Up' and so forth.

In your method you are specifiying what the keys are. What if I were to edit my DEFAULT arrow keys to something like '1, 2, 3 and 4', your method would still be looking for your basic arrow keys

Oh, then you could do something like this:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function GraalControl.onKeyDown(kcode, kstring, scode)
{
 for (i = 0; i < 11; i++)
  {
   if (keydown(i)) 
    {
     player.chat = "The player has pressed the" SPC kstring SPC "key which is the default action for" SPC keyname(i);
    }
  }
} 


EDIT: The default controls have keynumber values that range from 0-10 regardless of what key you assign to perform the action, which is why regardless of what keys you press to move your character, the keynumbers for directionals will always be 0, 1, 2, and 3.

There is no way to read default key assignments. If there is, it's not been documented.

Thanks


For some reason the keys 'I,J,K,L' [movement] don't come recognized as movement keys... x-x

keydown(int) detects them perfectly fine.

Oh true. They're not classed as movement keys though.
