if window:KeyDown(Key.D) Don't registry keys

[TheKkubas]

Hi. i'm new to Leadwerks and I started scrpiting in lua. When i try to make basic controller i discovered that bug (or my mistake). Here is one of scripts which i (try to) make.

Script.player = "" --entity "Player"
function Script:Start()

end
function Script:Update()
if window:KeyDown(Key.D) then
print("D Pressed")
right()
end
end
function Script:right()
ppos = self.player:GetPosition()
self.player:SetPosition(ppos+Vec3(3,0,0))
end

When it launched i didn't get any console replys about pressed D and my character didn't move.

At the end sorry for my English. That text could have errors.

Hi sorry if i am wrong but isnt it "KEY_D" with underscore ? (not the dot .)

 

edit: i feel so old, now...

No that was how keys were defined in LE2.

 

As for the OP's issues:

- the function is 'Script:UpdateWorld()' not 'Script:Update()'

- the command to print in the LE log is 'System:Print()' not 'print()'

- the function is 'right()' not 'Script:right()' or vice versa

- need to pass the 'self.player' to the 'right()' function if used instead of 'Script:right()' function

 

example lua code:

Script.player = "" --entity "player"

function Script:Start()

 

end

 

function Script:UpdateWorld()

window = Window:GetCurrent()

if window:KeyHit(Key.D) then

System:Print("D Pressed")

right(self.player)

end

end

 

function right(player)

ppos = player:GetPosition()

player:SetPosition(ppos+Vec3(3,0,0))

end

Thank you very much. Script worked but i must fix some bugs (I can do it alone).
