Wait For Keys
« on: September 19, 2010, 01:20:22 pm »
Hello,
What is a good Axe routine to wait for all keys to be released?

You could add a DispGraphr inside that loop, so that if you're using grayscale or something, it'll still be smooth.

Right, that much I know.  And I usually use 4 level, so DispGraphrr would be more appropriate :)

That doesn't work in Doors CS, though. I believe I had issues with Mirage as well as WabbitEmu. but again maybe Axe Tunnel was using a slightly different code.

I have to do this in my code:
Code: [Select]
while getKey(0)
Pause 50
EndOtherwise it exits the loop randomly :O

Really?
The loop is suppose to exit only when you release the key - are you sure you aren't accidentally letting go of a button?

Maybe you're not holding down a button when it starts. Try

Code: (Axe) [Select]
:Repeat getKey(0)
:End
:While getKey(0)
:End

and see if it works.

getKey(0) is just really fast.. so without any pause between checking getKey(0) will mess things up. you should be okay with this:
Code: [Select]
While getKey(0)
Pause 3
End

I generally add a Pause(50) also.

If you're in Full mode then the delay in the key routine is too quick to register the key-group switch.  Make sure you're in Normal mode when using direct key detection.

Oh I see why there are issues now. Key delay was too short. Gonna have to fix Axe Tunnel at one point then...
