Hi, im like so many others, trying to make a little FPS.
But the up/down/left/right- key moving system is a little out of date, and I would like to use w,a,s,d instead.
But how do i do that, if we say:

if upkey()=1 then move object 1,10

Could someone please tell me what to write instead of Upkey, if i whant the "a" key.

Thanks...

Search on google for the scan codes i'm not sure what they are and then use this:

Quote: "If keystate(scancode for the letter a) then move camera 1"

You might be able to do it something like this...

+ Code Snippet

do

x$ = inkey$()
if upper$(x$) = "W"
   print "Up!"
wait key
endif

if upper$(x$) = "A"
   print "Left!"
wait key
endif

if upper$(x$) = "S"
   print "Down!"
wait key
endif


if upper$(x$) = "D"
   print "Right!"
wait key
endif

loop

If you want it to constantly check what key is being pressed you just have to take out the wait key statements.

Hope this helps ya

Or just run the example code provided in DB Classic called input6.dba. I use it to figure out which keys have which scancodes. Then you do this:

if keystate(#)=1 then move object 1,10

Replace # with the scancode number that you want.
