You mean that you wanna check if the key
is pressed?Becasue the character keeps moving in only one direction?
Thats what happening to me

You should be able to do that with any kind of input script...

if Input.trigger?(Input::Key) # checks for one-time key activation
  # stuff
end

if Input.press?(Input::Key) # checks if the key is pressed (for an unlimited amount of time)
  # stuff
  @temp_trigger = true
else
  if @temp_trigger == true # if the key has been released
    # stuff
    @temp_trigger = false
  else # if the trigger hasn't been pressed after this if statement has been executed
    # stuff
  end
end

Thx for posting^^
Is it right that this couldn't be combined with a conditionfork?
I read that the keys can only be checked in a new script page...

 

[BlueScope]

What do you mean by that? O_o You can check them like I posted it, in normal conditional branches... in every script...

 

[Riku]

i mean can you make a event with a condition fork where this is checked?
not in the scripteditor
if it is possible pls let me know how and which script I need^^

it would be very nice

 

[Mr.Mo]

In the conditional Branch, go to the last page and put this in the Script box;

Input.press?(Input::Key)

make key the key you will use.

thx^^
hmm ok I tried it but it happens nothing Oo
I have near fantasticas keyboard module is this maybe the error...

Well, you need to replace Key with the key you desire... C, B, A, R, L, ... or custom keys you have in your input script, but the ones I posted should work with or without. Note that those keys aren't what they're called, they're just placeholders; C is for Enter and Space, for example... you can assign those with F1 while running your game.

ah I figured it out^^
I have to put in the script box one of the following...
if Input.get_function == "function"
if Input.get_letters== "letter"
if Input.get_numbers == "number"
if Input.get_key == "char"
if Input.get_direction== "number" # Number Pad

It works if I check the number "1" on the keyboard but letters don't work completly.
I want to check A W D
it doesnt work...

maybe the letter is used in the standard inputs ...?

EDIT: wait maybe the key doesn't exist in the module ...
here check it pls^^

You might post the Input script you use... or juse Cybersam's, which is pretty much... better :P (and easier to use IMO)

 

[Riku]

when i use cybersams script i cant use 8waypixelmovement and thats quiet important for me^^

click the URL in the post before there is the script I use^^

 

[BlueScope]

Strage, I use both in my game :P I have a copy of Cybersam's in my Keyboard Based Name Input script thread, you might wanna check this out...

 

[Riku]

okay now it works thx!^^

next problem... how do I check now letter"A"
like you said in your first post?

EDIT: i figured out i have to put in Input.pressed(Input::Letters["A"]
ok now the last question^^
how do I check if the key is pressed all the time and when he is released

 

[BlueScope]

I already told you that in my first post in this thread ^_^

 

[Riku]

ahh ok now I have understood completely^^
thx very much!

=)
