Keys being read on both Up and Down state

by Bryce "Cogburn" Weiner · in Torque Game Engine · 10/07/2004 (7:06 pm) · 4 replies

I've been monkeying with binds and somewhere along the line I've done something I cannot fix.

Each time I press a key that is bound, the bound action occurs on both the keydown and keyup events, rather than one or the other.

I have not conciously done anything to modify this, so I must have goofed up something somewhere.

This problem arose during scripting edits and not as a result of engine modifications.

Any clues as to where to look?

Yeah, take a look at your bind, and make sure it does a test if(%val) { Then do animation }

If (%val == 1) {KEY DOWN}
If (%val == 0) {KEY UP}

Hope this helps

[edit]
By "bind" I mean the function that your key is bound to.

Did you declare the %val paremeter in your function, JW?

function myFunction(%val) {
   if (%val == 1)
      //The key is down
   if (%val == 0)
      //The key is up
}

When you bind a key to a function, the first paremeter (%val, in the example) is the key state.
