Title: [SOLVED] Detecting Key Press?
Post by: JasonO on 21 Oct 2007, 04:32:44

Hi

I been trying to figure out how to get the Key press detection thing (that's what it's called, right? :P) to work, and I can't seem to get any output from it.

Code: [Select]

(findDisplay 46) displaySetEventHandler ["KeyDown", {hint format ["%1",_this select 1]}]
That should give me the id/number of the key pressed, I think?

I'm going to have a look at Mando Draw, or Mando Paint.. where you can draw in the middle of the screen from your weapon direction.. may be something obvious.

This is correct, but display 46 is not "ready" as soon as you start teh mission, so if you use that in your init.sqs, make sure to wait a second before that line.

Code: [Select]

waitUntil { not (isNull (findDisplay 46)) };
Is the less fudgy way than waiting an arbitrary amount of time, but one second will always be enough :D

That was it. Was in init.sqs and no delay was before it. Added your line spooner (well sqs format, since thats what the rest of my init is).

Solved!  :good:
