Checking key pressed in repeatedly_execute

[Kinoko]

How can I check if any key is currently pressed in repeatedly_execute? I tried keycode which doesn't work outside of on_key_press and I even tried if (on_key_press==0) but yeah, that didn't work (it was a long shot).

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

IsKeyPressed(int keycode);

[Kinoko]

But ANY key, not a specific key.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Ah. Whoops.

Try this. Start with a check to see if the processing can begin, then use a "while" loop to "scroll" through the keycodes you want to test. Can't explain better, am in hurry, but someone else can - but I think you get it.

There's no specific way to do this, as it's not a common request. You'd have to do as Rui says and loop through all the keycodes you're interested in, and test them with IsKeyPressed.

[Kinoko]

Ah well, thanks ^_^

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

BTW, are you sure it's nothing you can just place BEFORE any keycode checks in on_key_press (and BEFORE the IsGamePaused check) with some more appropriate checks? It might be easier and just as effective

[Kinoko]

Actually, I did go and find another way to check

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Could you share? I'm curious and interested. Unless it's too specific for your game, accourse.

Hehe, I already did in my keyboard movement thread I used 'is Animating' instead. I haven't run into any problems with it so far.
