Help keyboard reconizing 2 players
Author
im trying to allow 2 players to share the keyboard, one player using "a(left),w(up),s(down),d(right) and the other useses the arrows. Heres the code im using:
But when the game plays, the game dosent respond to the red light cycle commands, only the blue cycles.
the SteerCycle() function 1st parameter is what bike it is, 2nd parameter is what image(what way the bike should be facing) will be shown. Its probaly not that, that cause the problem. according to(as far as i could read) MSDN, 58 should be equal to W, 44 is D, 53 is S and 41 is A.
Thanks in advice!

list of virtual key codes.
Try using 'GetAsyncKeyState( VKUP ) & 0x80' instead of < 0, like so:
I hope that was helpful [smile]

Also note, GetAsyncKeyState can only reliably tell you if the button is pressed at the time the function is called - not whether it was pressed in-between function calls.
Although it is possible to also check if it was pressed in-between calls by using:
GetAsyncKeyState(VK) & 0x01
The above is unreliable as Windows' threading model may allow another application to receive the 0x01 flag, and thus your application will be told that no, a key has not been pressed - even if one has.

yea, i tried VK_W and so forth at first, as it seemed most logicly, however i tells me that those are undeclared identifiers, so i figured it wasnt the correct approach.
ERRORS:
im confused..
Also..what is that "& 0x001" thing? In my current case i dont think it is a problem as the code above gets called 30 times a second, however id like to implement it anyway.

i think the problem could be that you're using
if(condition)..
else if(condition)..
..
if the blue light cycle player is pushing a button, it'll bail the if..else set and not check for the red light cycle players buttons.
consider using
if(condition)...
if(condition)...
instead of if..else
if(condition)..
else if(condition)..
..

Also of note may be the fact that many older keyboards do not detect more than three keys being pressed at a time; if your machine is emitting beeps it's a pretty good chance this is what's going on.

isnt (inside the (!g_bGameOver)) dosent it sees the blue and the red cycles as 'not related'?, i mean, all the blue cycles commands is associated with if, and else if, and the red cycle's command is associated with annother(seperate) if sentence? or am i misunderstanding something. Anyhow, im still getting these errors:
in this code:

For 'normal' letters, just quote them, like so: 'W', 'D', 'S', 'A' - instead of the VK_whatever stuff. Remember to use upper-case.

Thanks! :) Someone posted above that i could check for keyboard input, even when the function isnt running, how do i know what to use similair to 00x1? for all keyboard inputs
