Here an easy question for all you vets of db. I am trying to assign the "wasd" keys for my camera movement and I type the whole "if inkey$....yada yada" but when I when I execute the program I can only push one key at a time (can go forward but not turn at the same time like I can with the arrow keys). I have been at it for a good while now any help would rock!

ps. I believe it has to do with the "=1" <---just dont know how to implement the "=1" when not using the arrow keys

example: if upkey()=1 then move camera 5.0
VS.
if inkey$()"w" then move camera 5.0

If you need a better description of the problem feel free to ask what ever you want

THANX AHEAD OF TIME!

this mini program will find the scancodes which is specific to each key on your keyboard and realted to each different language.

do
cls
print scancode()
sync
loop


once u have found your scancodes for the required keys.

u can use a snippet similar to this


if scancode(yourasciinum) = 1
perform action
endif

you can expand on this also


if scancode(yourasciinum) = 1 and scancode(yourotherasciinum) = 1
perform action
endif


Sometimes tho keys will not respond like the arrow keys used in combos and this is a direct result of the way windows handles the keyboard so its out of reach to fix but combos of standard keys are fine if u use this method.

if u need to add a control key or a shift key then u have to take into account both keys

each one will have its own ascii number

to use a combo in this regard u can do this


if scancode(Leftcntrlascii) = 1 or scancode(Rightcntrlascii) = 1 and scancode(yourkeyascii) = 1
perform action
endif


this will allow u to use either control key and your desired key to perform an action.
