use scancodes with keystate

if scancode() = 17 and keystate(17) = 1
move camera 1
endif
if scancode() = 31 and keystate(31) = 1
move camera -1
endif
if scancode() = 32 and keystate(32) = 1
turn camera right .1
endif
if scancode() = 30 and keystate(30) = 1
turn camera left .1
endif

shouldn't make it lag, least it doesn't here.

to make it strafe, use the "newxvalue" and "newzvalue" commands, look them up

example in my code: (spd# is the speed at which it will move, ca# is the y angle of the camera, cx# and cz# are the positions (just place the camera at cx and cz after this code))

Personally what I do is store the current input in to an array and then use a constant system to see if they've been pressed.

You can figure out the ScanCode of a key with this



You could actually use the above to output all of your virtual key constants
Well I'd use the code below in order to check the keys.


By making sure you rely as little as possible on the built-in commands you can increase program speed dramatically
