Key down

[Rick]

So the Script has a callback for KeyDown and KeyUp. What is that doing internally and is there a polling way to check this or some way I can check this outside of a Script callback? I have my own Lua class and need to check for a key down and hoping to avoid looping over all the keys to check this if possible.

You mean like the "Window:KeyDown()" function?

If your window variable is global (which it is by default in the main.lua file) you can just call "window:KeyDown()" anywhere in the script.

I mean telling me what key was down vs me going through them all like I have to do with KeyDown. A KeyPress function that returns the key code if one was pressed would be nice.

Hopefully Josh sees threads like yours and mine and seriously considers this.

For C++ this is possibly a suggestion for the problem with some missing key functions
