Hi I havn't been using Dark GKD for very long and am wandering how I would go about using the dbKeyState(int) function to be used for a conditional statement that is only satisfied when two keys are being pressed.

My first thought was:



After some thought (and it not working) i thought that this isnt going to be satisfied since when both are pressed i am guessing the code is different. So what i'm asking is what can I do to make this work. The idea is for my animated sprite to jump up and right when this combanation is pressed. I have the code for making the image move in the right way (go up to a certain height then come down to the ground) I have tested by making both returns = to true its just getting this right. Any help would be appreciated.

This should work as each key has its own internal "register", so if you check keystate(200) && keystate(205) and both = 1 then they are both pressed and the IF statement should be TRUE...

Anyone else got a reason why this wouldn't work?

It should work. I checked and it works on my machine.

P.S. Have you tried if you can detect two other keys (not the arrows) pressed at the same time? Maybe your keyboard is not willing to detect certain key combinations.

Might be your keyboard, for example my old keyboard didnt permit me to do just that.
