Lua and key input?

[Andy Gilbert]

Trying to check for key inputs in lua but struggling.

 

I tried :

if KeyDown(KEY_SPACE)==1 then                        
	model1body:AddForce(Vec3(0,0,100))	
end

 

Which didnt work, so i then tried :

if KeyDown(KEY_SPACE)==1 then                        
	AppTerminate=1	
end

 

Which also does nothing....

 

thanks

Andy

Are you including dofile('\Scripts\base.lua') to your script at the top? I think it's required for the key constants.

 

Try KeyHit() also. Just to make sure. Also put an AppLog() inside your if statement and check your engine log to make sure it's getting inside there.

It should work, you should use AppLog("KEY SPACE DOWN") to see if it has any effect.

Keypressed work only if you click on the Editor scene first, I click on the terrain so I don't select any objects.

AppTerminate is a variable you are initializing in the loop. It would not have any effect. Try Notify("Hit!").

 

Make sure you are including the keycodes script that defines all the key constants.

Yea your right, need the scripts/base.lua in there.
