Whenever i run this code,

+ Code Snippet

void text()
{

	int on;

	on = 0;

	if (dbKeyState (16) == 1)
	{
		on = 1;
	}
		

	if (on == 1);
	{

		dbText (0, 0, "Move the camera with the arrow keys and mouse.");
		dbText (0, 10, "Jump with the left mouse button.");


		float x;
		float y;
		float z;

		//x,y,z coords
		x = dbCameraPositionX();
		y = dbCameraPositionY();
		z = dbCameraPositionZ();

		dbText (0, 30, "X Position:");
		dbText (125, 30, dbStr(x));

		dbText (0, 60, "Y Position:");
		dbText (125, 60, dbStr(y));

		dbText (0, 90, "Z Position:");
		dbText (125, 90, dbStr(z));
		dbText (0, 110, dbStr(on));
	}


}

the game runs fine, except for this part, it just acts as if the "if (on == 1)" isn't there

i use this void during the LoopGDK

does anyone know how to get the text to change according to if the key is pressed?

p.s. i'm still relatively new to this so i'm sorry if i wasted your time

You're telling it to do nothing. You need to remove the semi-colon at the end of the test in order to let the compiler know that it controls the block following it.
