[SOLVED]multiple input

[tank202]

Hi,
I've come across many topics on this problem but I couldn't get decent solution on how to handle multiple inputs.
The problem is that I need my fps character to be able to sprint and when I write such condition :

Code: Select all

if(event.KeyInput.Key == KEY_KEY_W || event.KeyInput.Key == KEY_LSHIFT)

it wont work

In the past I've managed to accomplish similar thing but if shift was pressed earlier that the movement key it wouldn't work also.

I think you get what I mean - HELP!!!

There is event.KeyInput.Shift which gives you the information if shift was pressed the moment when that key-event has been generated.

Its no good. If I press 'w' first and the shift, sprint function wont work

Nop, I couldn't understand what the hell they were doing in that forum so I've managed to find a solution:
As the event receiver loops several times before every rendering, I've decided to exclude movement key handling condition when the shift event was processed, so I've implemented such code:

Code: Select all

if(event.KeyInput.Key == KEY_KEY_W && event.KeyInput.PressedDown == true) Keyboard.ForwardKey = true;
else if(event.KeyInput.Key != KEY_LSHIFT) Keyboard.ForwardKey = false;

And from then my sprint was working perfectly. And they lived happily ever after
