Hi, I'm attempting to use the dbKeyState(int) command in a coditional statement. For some reason, I can't get it to work, and I'm wondering if maybe DarkGDK uses something other than the ASCII value of a key?

So for example, my code looks something like this -

if(dbKeyState(49)){
player.doWhatever();
}

49, I believe, is the ASCII value of the 1 key.. anyone know anything?

Thanks.

As far as I know, 49 is the 1 key. What you can do to check this out is make a program that reports what key is being pressed.



Something like that.

There's a difference between a scan code and an ASCII code. The scan code tells you which physical key was pressed. You can press the 'A' key and get the same scan code back regardless of whether you're shooting for shifted or unshifted state.

That's what I assumed he was looking for.

I found the key number codes on this page work for me
