any way to detect when key is released

[reaper2259]

Hey everyone im wondering if there is any way to get when a key is released in lua.

 

I know how to get when the key has been pressed down with KeyHit but i need something like KeyRelease or KeyUp because i need to call something when the player releases the specific key.

 

also is there any way to get when any key is pressed such as window:KeyHit(Key.Any) these would be really useful in many ways.

 

thanks for any help.

Maybe test for when KeyDown() is no longer true?

Heyy sorry for the confusion but i know how to manually do it using Booleans and if statements but was just wondering if there is any actual call like KeyUp which would just make things easier and less code when you need to make a lot of calls.

 

I don't have a project requiring heavy amounts of key release actions right now but its just something that would be of use.

 

Thanks for your help but i guess there isn't any such code currently.

Why not check for key hit instead of KeyDown?

 

Are you making a chat box?

hi im not making a chat box and keyhit only returns when the key is first pressed, im not making anything really i was just looking to see if there was a way to just call something like KeyUp or KeyRelease rather than typing out my own manual checks.

The new GUI and events system supports a KeyUp event.
