RESOLVED!Is there a way to check if no key is being pressed?

[figment68]

I'll try to explain what it is that I am trying to accomplish by giving an example. I want a feature in my game where if a player is inactive (as in not pressing any keys/buttons or moving) for a given period of time then the actor sprite would change to one showing the actor as bored or falling asleep etc. I have created my own sprites and am familiar with switches, events and learning scripting and so forth but was asking for any advice or ideas as to a way to achieve this? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.

Never mind, I gots what I needed! :wink: :biggrin:

Hm. I'm sure that you could script a check for an "Any" key, but there's only a small number of keys that the game checks-- couldn't you fake this by checking each of them? Might get laggy, though.

what about just checking whether the player's position has changed?
There could be exceptions (Menu / Message open...)

That's a point-- it might be easier to code.
