Tutorial 7: Checking for KeyPressed

so1odo1o · Post by **so1odo1o** » Thu May 13, 2010 10:09 am

I am playing around with Tutorial 7 and I want to add some logic when a certain key is press, for example the key 'Q'.

Since the tutorial added its own FPS Camera, how can I check when the 'Q' key is being pressed?

Thank you.

Look into 04.Movement tutorial.
It handles some user input using MyEventReceiver class derived from IEventReceiver -- this is the key.

I don't really want to mess with the arrow keys if I am to overwrite EventReceiver. I am already using the FPSCamera. Will I have to rewrite all of that if I just want to set a custom key to do a certain thing?

go to this thread, you will be able to use this to enable key presses. it has the .h and .cpp files.
