Title: More Controls Functions
Post by: Antikore on July 19, 2020, 06:28:23 PM
First of all, more key conditionals
Code: [Select]
if key pressed = left
if key released = right
if key = jump

Second, allow us to put more keybinds
Code: [Select]
if key = custom 1
if key pressed = custom 3

Third, allow us to check for an specific key, not related to a keybind
Code: [Select]
if key pressed = 32 //Space
if key = 48 //Key 0
if key = 88 //X key
if key released = g1 //g means any button from a gamepad, idk which numbers to use for each
The values are from here: https://www.asciitable.com (https://www.asciitable.com)

Fourth, allow us to set, change, etc. keybinds from commands, allowing us to create custom control config menus.
Code: [Select]
player 1 keybind left = [last key] //Set player 1's left keybind to the last keyboard key pressed.
player 2 keybind jump = 88 //Sets player 2's keybind jump to X button from keyboard
player 1 keybind custom 1 = g2 //Sets  player 1's custom keybind with id 1 to the gamepad button with id 2
player 2 keybind shoot = [last button] //Sets default player 2's shoot keybind to the last gamepad button

Obvioulsy this gives us some more bracketings
Code: [Select]
[player (1|2) keybind (keybind name)] //Returns the ascii value of that keybind
[last key] //Last keyboard button pressed by the user
[last button] //Last gamepad button pressed by the user.

//Useful for this
if key pressed = [player 1 keybind custom 1]
{
//Do things
}
//or
if key pressed = custom 1
{
//Do things
}
//But this leaves PB free to choose which player is intended to get the keybind from

This is an example but TingThing should add this or similar to improve PB. I'm not sure how TingThing will do the number system for the keys but I think this is a good base.

Why? ??? Should this be some type of pressure? I am sure Ting_Thing already works hard to make even some of the suggestions reality. ::)

You can just say that you're on the side that is opposite to mine, that would say alot about you

It's like you said before. There's simply a lot we don't agree on. But I'm not sure if it's intentional, or simply because we view things differently. I'm really unsure. One thing I am sure about is that you've changed quite a bit since you first joined these forums. And I'm glad you're here. We need someone to liven up the place a bit and to take an opposite point of view on things. That's a good thing. Because maybe your ideas are better than mine. Who knows!

Just for fun, I'm sure he will add this sooner or later.

Seeing that we got custom enemy physics, he may add this in 9.0.
