KeyHit question p c++]

[cassius]

I use KeyHit "G" to pick up objects. I hide the picked up object and set a bool flag to say its picked up.

 

Tonight I accidently clicked on "G" twice and when I got near a second object it was "picked up" already without another click on "G"

Tried FlushKey but made no difference.All required bool flags were set but it seems to defy logic.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

My guess is your KeyHit() check is done inside some other if statement. Generally if you have it as a top level check where it's always checked each frame you won't run into this issue. I would have thought flushing would have worked too though.

 

On another node I've for the most part stopped using the Hit() methods and make my own with a boolean flag to avoid the issues it has.

 

if window:KeyDown(Key.A) and aKey == false then
  aKey = true
  --- do key hit stuff
elseif window:KeyDown(Key.A) == false and aKey then
  aKey = false
end

if (jane.model->GetDistance(key01) < 2.0 && gotkey == false)

{

if (window->KeyHit(Key::G))

{

 

gotkey = true;

key01->Hide();

 

}

 

heres the code I use

I will try your suggestions. Thanks.

yeah, I would just swap those if statements. check for the KeyHit() first so it gets called each frame. that should prevent the queuing that you are seeing.
