All my previous projects have been single player and as such I have used LEFTKEY(), RIGHTKEY() etc.

But with my current project I want the player to choose his own keys. That's the easy bit. What I'm having problems with is being able to read multiple key presses simultainiously.

With LEFTKEY(), RIGHTKEY() DBP automatically recognises simultanious key presses but if the player chooses to use W,A,S,D (for example) then I am stumped.

INKEY$ will only read one key press at a time as will SCANCODE and INPUT requires a carriage return and is therefore useless. Other than those I don't know of any other keyboard input commands.

There must be a way to achieve this, so what am I missing?

Thanks

EDIT - SORRY! My Bad! Please ignore this thread I had a brain failure or something the command I need is KEYSTATE(). It is a command I have used before. I just completely forgot about it
