"The main command that is used here is dbKeyState ( int iKey ). What this does here is check if the key is currently depressed and return true if it is, or false if it is not. The parameter than dbKeyState() accepts is a scancode rather than an ASCII value."

Example Code:
if ( dbRightKey() || dbKeyState( 32 ) == 1 )
{
dbYRotateCamera ( 0 , dbCameraAngleY( 0 ) + 90 );
dbMoveCamera ( 0 , PLAYERSPEED );
dbYRotateCamera ( 0 , dbCameraAngleY( 0 ) -90 );
}


Every time I goto mess around with stuff I want to assign and key and get stuck I have been surfing the web for a bit and can't find a list, or anywhere in the folder, I'm not having any luck with this can someone out there help me out? Could someone paste a KeyState list showing which # is assigned to which key, or a link to a site showing them.
Or even how to go about finding out for myself would be great.

Would help alot Thanks

found this on another thread:



you can add 183 for PrintScreen and 197 for Pause (on my keyboard anyway)/

I believe so but it is a map of the keys, not characters.

you could just use the scan code function to grab what key is being pressed - print it to screen or you could even make a craaazy setup screen for each player:
1. please press the key you would like to use for jumping.
> user input

thankyou.
2. to jump, press (what user inputted)

idea or not?

Paul08 - good idea - KeyMapping! Note you need to write code so it only checks the mapped keys - not check all of them - use an array for this only as long as the keys you're checking otherwise it will dog.

DGDK is DirectX based, so under the hood it probably just uses the DirectInput DIK_ #define constants in dinput.h. You can open the file directly and search for "DirectInput keyboard scan codes" (w/o quotes) or find them in the SDK documentation (DirectX Input/DirectInput/Reference/Device Constants/Keyboard Device Constants).
