This is probably a dumb question with a dead simple answer but it eludes me right now. How can i get a single button to toggle an option? for example:-

Camera height = 200
Press "c"
camera height = 120
press "c"
camera height = 200

Kinda like pressing "c" to toggle crouch in an FPS if you get my drift...

if c=0
camera height=200
endif

if c=1
camera height =120
endif

if scancode(45)=1

if c=1
c=0
endif

if c=0
c=1
endif

endif

The scancode command returns a one if that key is pressed. scancode(1) would return a one is the squiggly key was pressed. scancode(2), would be 1 key, scancode(3) would be two. scancode(30) would be A. etc. It's numbered numerically from the top right of the keyboard to the bottom left, excluding the arrowkeys, numpad, function buttons, and the home/insert etc. buttons.

for some reason it doesn't seem to register the "if scancode(45)=1" it says it's an illegal command and stuff...


*edit*
Nevermind, i got it. Used "If Keystate(45)=1" instead

Wrong thread. Sorry.

But to add to the discussion, that thread you linked to helped a lot, Dabbler. I was having a bit of an issue with this myself.

a total noob.
