so basically "one-touch" right:


if keystate(17) = 1
if key = 0
key = 1
// "one time" code goes in here
endif
else
key = 0
endif


basically, the variable "key" is always set to 0 until you hit the key. When you hit the key, it checks to make sure key is at 0, the sets it to 1 and executes the code below it. So unless you release your hand from the button, key won't become 0 and the code won't be executed again.

whatever you're doing, I'm sure it's more complex, but it'll work just the same. It detects if the buttons released.

Badmonkey, you need to make a block out of your IF clause for it to work, otherewise "hit=1" will always run...

If you need to do this a lot, then check out my code snippet in the CodeBase. It makes it a lot tidier.

Hopefully this link will work..

It also has a picture of a keyboard with all the ASCII values.
