Using Numpad in Gui and Map Editor

by Jeremiah Fulbright · in Torque Game Engine · 04/06/2005 (2:53 pm) · 2 replies

I think I have seen this posted in other areas, but upon searching couldn't find the needed information..

Currently, I use top row of Numbers for keying in values in fields for entities, but was starting to use the Numpad to do some, but I noticed it only works in the GUIEditor (outside of a level). Once I load a mission, the Numpad ceases to be usable inside of the GUIEditor, as well as MapEditor. I looked thru Scripts, but saw nothing that would be numpad only, as the Top-Row of Numbers still works fine.

I tried Numlock off/on and it didn't make a difference.

Any help would be appreciated

Ya, this problem annoys me too. And what about pressing enter instead of having to click 'apply' every time you change something? As far as I know the problem is just that it's outdated and no one has had the time/inspiration to fix it yet.

In "Editor.cs", inside the function "toggleEditor()", change this section of code...


if(Canvas.getContent() == EditorGui.getId())
			Editor.close();
		else
			Editor.open();

to this...

if(Canvas.getContent() == EditorGui.getId())
		{
			Editor.close();
			
			//  SSP - Gonzo - reactivate direct input
			activateDirectInput();
		}
		else
		{
			Editor.open();
			
			//  SSP - Gonzo - allow NumPad in editor
			deactivateDirectInput();
		}


in "GuiEditorGui.cs", replace the function "GuiEdit()" with this one...

function GuiEdit(%val)
{
	if(%val != 0){ return; }
      
	%content = Canvas.getContent();
   
	if(%content == GuiEditorGui.getId())
	{
		%obj = GuiEditorContent.getObject(0);
		
		if(%obj != -1)
		{
			GuiGroup.add(%obj);
			Canvas.setContent(%obj);
			
			//  SSP - Gonzo - reactivate if a mission is active
			if(isObject(MissionCleanup)){ activateDirectInput(); }
		}
      
		GlobalActionMap.unbind( keyboard, "delete" );
	}
	else
	{
		GuiEditorOpen(%content);
		
		//  SSP - Gonzo - enable NumPad in editor 
		deactivateDirectInput();
	}
}
