ID for keys in number pad

[isaiahk9]

I want to make some controls in my game (Number pad 1 - 6), but when I go
elsif key (KEY_KEYPAD_5) then
where key is a variable for the key being pressed, this only works for the number pad 5, not any others. So what is the ID of the keys Numberpad 1, 2, 3, 4, 6? I would use it in a
Input.KeyDown (key)
type of format.
Does any one know?
Thanx.

you should probably check the same page of documentation as where you found KEY_KEYPAD_5

If you check the value of the constant, it would probably give you a clue as to what the others are as well.

A fairly good guess would be that characters '1', '2', '3', etc. would work.

No Tony, I checked the page and it gives no clues as to what the other number-pads are. As well, I tried KEY_KEYPAD_1, etc. Doesn't work.

what's the value of KEY_KEYPAD_5 ? (actually I honestly don't know)

Turing:

put KEY_KEYPAD_5

and what about trying Input.KeyDown('1') ?

Check this program out for all IDs:

Turing:

%% Credits to shorthair setscreen("noecho") var inkey : string (1) loop     getch (inkey)     put ord (inkey)     exit when ord (inkey) = 27 end loop

To Tony : My game is a two-player fighter, and one player has WASD, YUIHJK for controls. PLayer two has the arrows and Num Pad 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
To jinjin : what do these IDs help with Input.KeyDown?

[Tony]

that doesn't answer either of my questions.

To Tony :
"what's the value of KEY_KEYPAD_5 ? (actually I honestly don't know) "
I thought you meant what was the point of having that as a key in my game.
"put KEY_KEYPAD_5 "
It just outputs a period.
"and what about trying Input.KeyDown('1')"
I just get this error : Non variable passed to 'var' formal

[S_Grimm]

is your numlock on or off? try it with both.

[isaiahk9]

Still no luck

I'm pretty sure that's not how Input.KeyDown works

Turing:

var chars : array char of boolean loop    Input.KeyDown (chars)    if chars ('1') then       put "omg, it's 1!"       delay(5000)    end if end loop

nice, tony. thanx, everybody. What tony said was right - ('1'), and all the others. My buddy pointed that out two minutes after I read Ton'y post. Now, so long as the other player doesn't cheat by pressing number lock or any of the keys above their controls . . .
