Hi.

You need to set up a bool array for the keys, say bool keyPressed[256]. Then in your keyboard function, just set the correct value in the array to true (true meaning it was pressed) then in a key up functions, set it to false. Then in your display/update function, you do all your checks for the key presses, so:

if(keyPressed['w']){
move forward
}

and so on.

I get what your saying
but also don't,

Could you edit my code or
give me a piece of example code?

Thanks for the reply.

You need to have an array of of bools that represent the current key state (false=up, true=down)

I dont know how those functions work as I repond to window events.

Typically it would be like this.



This allows the player to hold down the buttons too. If you want it to be single presses only set the KeyDown eliment to 0 when responding to it in OnEachFrame

I am so sorry I tried to use this in my
code and still cant get it to compile right.

Can someone modify my code and help me out thanks.

Here is what you need to do:



We are not going to edit your code for you. If you are having compile errors, please describe them and paste the errors, and we will help you.

Look at my first post updated code.
Still not right?

There is an issue in your Keyboard checks.

if (Key['x']=1)

= is assignment so all your keys are being set to true.

When you meant is ==

However when your testing for something being non-zero (as in this case) you can just do

if (key['x']) DoStuff();

WOW!

It works this is a lot better.

I have been trying to figure this out for weeks now.
I actually had thoughts of abandoning OpenGL.

I will update my code for others.

Thanks all that posted this was a humongous help.
