getKey question

« on: March 17, 2011, 10:11:51 am »

I'm trying to make a key remapping function for DionJump, in Settings, users can edit the keys and the number is saved to an appvar.

But when I try to check the keys, it doesn't work...

Code: [Select]

:If getKey({K+2}) // K is the pointer to the appvar.
: ...
:End

Here is my source, the getKey is changed back to getKey(41), to make the game work. Please don't ask questions about the rest of the code, it isn't really good code, I know that...
WHOA, that's BIG, BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG, did I make that in 4 days

Make sure you are using the right "v" when defining your appvar string. It needs to be the [2nd]+[v] token, NOT the lowercase v. If you did it right, it should show up as "appv". Also, in your PCK method, PCK is actually not getting the last key pressed. It is simply waiting for a key, then it gets the one pressed immediately after it (which, unless they press the arrow keys, is always going to be zero). The code should actually be:

Code: [Select]

Lbl PCK
Pause 1000
0->K
Repeat K
getKey->K
End

I only skimmed your source, but if you are using K for something else, feel free to use some other variable name or even a memory location.
