IsKeyPressed2
Revision as of 17:36, 14 September 2007 by imported>WereWolf
A command for Oblivion Script Extender
Syntax:
IsKeyPressed2 key
Returns true if key is currently pressed down. Key values are DirectX scancodes, as opposed to IsKeyPressed's Windows header codes.
DirectX scancodes are typically in hexadecimal, but this function takes decimal values.
Notes
- As well as the normal DX scancodes, you can use the numbers 256 to 263 to check for mouse button presses, and also 264 and 265 to check for mouse wheel movement.
- This function will return false if a key which was previously disabled using disableKey is pressed, but will return true if a mouse button is pressed while that button is disabled.
- Bear in mind that this function returns 1 for as long as the key is held down, so it's generally a good idea to trap the key and then wait until it is released, i.e.:
if ( curKey && isKeyPressed2 curkey ) ; key still being held down return ; wait until it's released else set curkey to 0 endif if ( isKeyPressed2 <keyCode> ) ; do stuff set curKey to <keyCode> endif
