;Scancodekeypressed & keypressed
;When writing scripts for your game development, you may need to have the script "do something" when the player presses a specific key (example: display a map when M is pressed). To do this, you can either use the "scancodekeypressed" or "keypressed" command.
;Scancodekeypressed=x
;The following is how this command is used:

:state=6,etimergreater=250,scancodekeypressed=50:hudunshow=map,etimerstart,state=7

:state=7,scancodekeypressed=50:etimerstart,state=8
:state=8,etimergreater=500:etimerstart,state=290

;Reset Main delay 
:state=290,etimergreater=150,plrwithinzone=0:state=1

;End of Script

;When the player presses M, the map hud is displayed. When they press M again, the hud is hidden and the script returns to the beginning.

;keypressed=x y

;"Keypressed" can be used in a different method than "scancodekeypressed". By using this command, we can have the script do something while a key is pressed and held, and do something else once the key pressed is released. We can substitute "scancodekeypressed" with "keypressed" into our script, and alter it slightly. The result would be the following:


;Artificial Intelligence Script

:state=0:state=1

;Plr in Zone
:state=1,plrwithinzone=1:state=2

;MAP VIEWING (M KEY)
:state=2,keypressed=50 1:state=5
:state=2,keypressed=50 0:state=6

:state=5:hudshow=map,etimerstart,state=2
:state=6:hudunshow=map,etimerstart,state=2

;End of Script

;Note the difference in the two conditions. The "keypressed" uses the scan code number of the key followed by 1 (is pressed) or 0 (not pressed). Also in the script, the key must be held down for the map to remain on the screen.

;So, with the 'keypressed' condition, the hud is only displayed for as long as the 'M' key is held down. As opposed to pressing it to display and pressing again to switch off the hud with the 'scancodekeypressed' condition. Is that right?

;Quote: "So, with the 'keypressed' condition, the hud is only displayed for as long as the 'M' key is held down. As opposed to pressing it to display and pressing again to switch off the hud with the 'scancodekeypressed' condition. Is that right?"

;In this example, yes. Thanks for asking because in my haste I had put in the wrong script for "keypressed". I have corrected it in the post. I also should not be posting tutorials so early in the morning before my first cup of coffee.

;In the "scancodekeypressed" script, the M key is pressed and the hud is displayed, then the key is pressed again and the hud is hidden. In the "keypressed" script, the key is pressed and held which shows the hud, and once released the hud is hidden.

;The main principle was to show how to use the two different conditions. Both do the same thing- just have different syntax and can be applied in different cases.
