Smooth input??

Ok, so I'm making a little Pong game as my intro to Irrlicht. I have set up an event receiver, and added 2 meshes. I have set the first mesh to move up when I press "W" and down when I press "S". It works, but it doesn't do it smoothly. I can't hold it down and keep it going either. Heres some of my code:

Event Receiver

Code: Select all

class MyEventReceiver : public IEventReceiver

{
public:
	virtual bool OnEvent(const SEvent& event)
	{
		if (P1node != 0 && event.EventType == EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT && !event.KeyInput.PressedDown)
		{
			switch(event.KeyInput.Key)
			{
			case KEY_KEY_W:
				{
					vector3df P1up = P1node->getPosition();
					P1up.Y += event.KeyInput.Key == KEY_KEY_W ? 5.0f : -5.0f;
					P1node->setPosition(P1up);
					break;
				}
			case KEY_KEY_S:
				{
					vector3df P1down = P1node->getPosition();
					P1down.Y += event.KeyInput.Key == KEY_KEY_S ? -5.0f : 5.0f;
					P1node->setPosition(P1down);
					break;
				}

			return true;
			}
		}

		return false;
	}
}; 

And the part where I use it

Code: Select all

int main()
{
	
	//create a receiver out of MyEventReceiver
	MyEventReceiver receiver;

	// create OpenGL device with receiver as the Event Receiver
	IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice(EDT_DIRECT3D9, dimension2d<s32>(640, 480), 16, false, false, false, &receiver);
.........other code

Thanks

Wait I've found Rogerborg's stuff about smooth input here:

I'll try it out

W00t it works great! Thanks Rogerborg!!!
