I do feel rather guilty bombarding this forum with questions, but I'm still quite rusting with my coding (notice lame excuse for lake of knowledge)...

How can one check for multiple keypresses in one loop? Scancode() and Inkey$() naturally only return one key. But it's a real nuisance, as I'm sure anyone who has tried to make a first person game knows, to stop moving forward when you strafe, stop running when you press Use, etc.

What's da key?

Thanks

Use KEYSTATE().

You are probably using something like this to detect keypresses:

if scancode() = 2 then ` '1' pressed.

Detecting the same key using keystate works like this:

if keystate(2)=1 then ` '1' pressed.

Thanks IanM.

Amusingly enough, I never did know that... after all these years.

Shows what I've coded

Much obliged
