CLICKING ON MOUSE GENERATES KEYBOARD EVENTS? UPDATED!

[Georgian]

so me again.
now i think i found a bug.
when i click the mouse Event.KEYINPUT.CHAR is " Char 950 'ζ' wchar_t
"
but Event.keyinput.Key is KEY_KEY_U

and with keyboard pressed on U
char is 'U' and Key is KEY_KEY_U

Your code

well can u put the event code first!? as hybird said! i dont understand u really!!

Just curious... why are you reading keyboard inputs when testing for mouse events?

The above sounds like a undefined behavior. I'll have to try this for myself and post my results.

oh the code.. well maybe because its tooo long?
the main.cpp file is well about 4000Lines. and the event receiver part about 1000 lines.

and i test for keys when clicking mouse because I use both mouse and keyboard together.

and well my code is very messed its my first serious project im only 17 and well its the first program in which i have 10000+ lines
and my event receiver is very very crooked i have several GAME MODES (about 10)
and i have like this
if (event.EventType==irr::EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT||event.EventType==irr::EET_MOUSE_INPUT_EVENT)
{
if(GAMEMODE==PLAY)
{
switch(Event.keyInput.KEY)
{}
switch(event.MouseEvent.Event)
{}

}
//than
if(GAMEMODE==GuessPicture)
{
if(cursorpos.x>12&&cursorpos.x<100&&cursorpos.y>214&&cursorpos.y<555)
{}
}
if(GAMEMODE==WriteWords)
{
if(event.keyInput.KEY==KEY_KEY_X&&WordTowrite[POS]=='X')
{
}

}

}

as i said its my first large program and well my skills arnt too goood

when i click the mouse Event.KEYINPUT.CHAR is " Char 950

If event.EventType is not EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT, you should not access any member of event.KeyInput. The reason is that the SEvent structure is implemented as a union. The event.KeyInput data is stored in the same location as the event.MouseInput data.

ok. thanks vitek i got it now ill have to add everywhere if(EVENTTYPE==MOUSE) and if(EVENTTYPE==KEY)

well i have a lot of IF s to write. but not now. ill go repair my car or at least try.

If you have 1000 lines of code in your event receiver, you might want to split it up just a little. It looks like you have a primitive game state system already. You might want to split each state out into its own functions or classes. The overall number of lines will obviously increase, but it will reduce the complexity of the code significantly.

There was discussion of a state system a while back that you might want to take a look at. You can find it here.
