[PLUGIN] Input System v0.96b (21/03/2011): Keyb+Mouse+Joy

Ir's not a bug from InputSystem but from the Binary object.

If you create a Binary object before save, the InputSystem.cfg file is correct.

I've updated the example: http://www.box.net/shared/n8i16iolnt

Unfortunately, it's not a good idea to allocate a Binary object each time as Binary objects cannot be destroyed...

Thank you,

I thought I had already avoided the binary file access issue in my step2 (delete "InputSystem.cfg" file.), but I still fall in the trap.

I try use python to access configure save file.

read:

r_file = open("input_system.cfg", "r") 
InputSystem.SetControlConfigData(r_file.read()) 
r_file.close()[/code:20ut87eu] 
save: 
[code:20ut87eu]w_file = open("input_system.cfg", "wb") 
w_file.write(InputSystem.GetControlConfigData) 
w_file.close()[/code:20ut87eu] 
 
It's work.

Hi,

There is a bug about key-map in configure of event.

See this cap file.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5779181/keymap_err.zip

+ InputSystem: Key W is down 
-> Text: Set text to "w" 
+ InputSystem: Key S is down 
-> Text: Set text to "s"[/code:1v8ho4xv] 
 
key "W" and key "S" are mapping to key "Q" and key "A". Press "Q" will trigger -> Text: Set text to "w"

Don't know if it helps, but changing from 'Key is down?' to 'On Key Pressed' works (possible workaround?).

Key is down parameter is a key code. It uses a name to be "Human readable" and the name is based on the US keyboard layout.

So when you specify "Key W is down", it is the W key in a US layout. For a FR layout it is Z.

To get key name you have 2 functions:

GetKeyName(KeyCode) to get the US layout key name and GetLocalKeyName(KeyCode) to get key name for local layout.

To display the last key pressed in local layout in you example:

+ InputSystem: Key W is down

-> Text: Set text to InputSystem.GetLocalKeyName(InputSystem.LastKeyDown)

InputSystem.LastKeyDown gives the key code of the last key down.

N.B.: I think a On Char Pressed event is missing

Sorry, I'm not sure what's wrong.

I try built-in MouseKeyboard object.

+ MouseKeyboard: Key W is down 
-> Text: Set text to "w" 
+ MouseKeyboard: Key S is down 
-> Text: Set text to "s"[/code:2sbg9go7]

It's correct to perform pressing "w" & "s" key.  
What's different between InputSystem and MouseKeyboard? (They look like using US layout, too.) 
 
Thanks.

No, MouseKeyboard test the character entered by the user, not scan key code.

Thank you. I will be careful.

It may make user(like me ) confuse if event setting is not match to character.

Should be possible a custom editbox with this plugin?

like you can write stuffs with CAPITAL on or off, use Shift to make symbols, etc.. if so.. can u help me figure it out? ty

edit: made it already ;D

Maybe I'm missing something simple here, but is there a way to map two inputs to a control?

I am wanting to support both Keyboard and Gamepad input into my game, and whenever I set the presets to the joystick, keyboard functionality is lost.

No. One control, one input.

So if you want to manage a primary & a secondary control, you have to create 2 controls for each "main" control.

There's a little mistake in expressions window.

"Get last key down" and "Get last key release" should be in the keyboard expressions not mouse like they are now.

Another question. I have the controls currently loading from a preset configuration file. Later, I allow the player to change the control mapping, however, I don't want the changes to immediately go into effect. I want the system to hold the new changes and come into effect once the player confirms the changes.

I thought I could record the new changes to a different player, but then I'm unsure how to get the controls of one player to then move to a different player. Is there something I'm missing or is there a better way to go about this?

Edit: I think I have solved this issue. What I can do is record everything to player 2, then binary write it to a tempfile, but before the write I use a text manipulator to replace all instances of ",2," to ",1," then load that temp file.

There's an expression that's placed in the wrong category, "get last key down" is under the "mouse" category when it should be under "keyboard".

i use a scandinavian keyboard and i have to subtract one from the US keycode so 32 will be 31 etc.

When i get the keycode from last key down however the keycode is wrritten according to a us layout!

Bug?
