Input.KeyDown (chars)

[JSBN]

ok, for net play, i need to send "Input.KeyDown (chars)" over the net. How do i do this whithout using get (ie getch....)?

Thx, mod JSBN

er... Input.KeyDown should replace getch and it doesn't need to be in it's own process as long as it's in the loop.

just send the whole chars array... or go through it and generate a list of characters pressed, then send that if you want to save on some bandwidth (which is a good idea since turing is slow)

how do i send the chars array ?

i think he means like declare a variable as an array, and then u can call them up when needed. i'm not too shure wut tony means either, lol. this is just a stab

ok here's a function that works with keydown and returns which character is pressed

code:

var chars : array char of boolean function inputord (chars : array char of boolean) : int     for i : chr (1) .. chr (255)         if chars (i) then             result ord (i)         end if     end for     result - 1 end inputord loop     Input.KeyDown (chars)     if inputord (chars) not= -1 then         put inputord (chars)     end if end loop
