KEYPRESS() and KEYRELEASE()

(1/2) > >>

S. P. Gardebiter:
It would be nice to have KEYPRESS() and KEYRELEASE() commands.

And yeah, I know that you can do it yourself with code. ;)

Schranz0r:
*SIGN*!  :good:

Beginner:
I know this request is very old, but i think the problem is still present, right? I agree to the request that something like keypress() and keyrelease() would be very helpful. Or at least something like keyhit() and keydown()

Ian Price:
I've never really seen a need for either of these. Just use a keypress timer to prevent or allow multiple/timed keypresses.

eg

--- Code: (glbasic) ---// Prevent multiple key presses
IF KEY(XX) AND press=0
 blah blah
 press=10
ENDIF

IF press>0 then DEC PRESS

--- End code ---


--- Code: (glbasic) ---// Timed key
IF KEY(XX) THEN INC held

IF held>YY THEN dosomething.

--- End code ---

You could even roll them into your own functions.

Schranz0r:
My version.
Just take 10 min to make, hope there are no bugs...
