Hello,
I would want to know how to do for have as information , if the user press both the arrow key right and the arrow key up .
I would make a call different command if the user press only arrow right.
Code: Select all
on arrow key k
test k
end arrow key
command test k
if k is "right" then
command1
else -- if the user press arrow key up + right
command2
end if
end command

Hi.
The arrowKey messages are sent as each is pressed in turn, so you cannot collect them in a serial way. You can always do something like:
Code: Select all
on arrowkey var
if var = "left" then put "left" after fld 1
if var = "down" then put "down" after fld 1
end arrowkey
But this would require a bit more management

The keysdown does register the arrow keys which have the following number codes:
left = 65361
up = 65362
right = 65363
down = 65364
To see the key codes, copy the following to your card script:
Code: Select all
on updateScreen
put keysdown( ) into msg
send updateScreen to me in 20 millisec
end updateScreen
Then add a button:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
updateScreen
end mouseUp
It will show you the codes for all the buttons on the keyboard as you press them.
Also, use the "set" command to move your object. It is faster than the "move" command and the 2 keys (up and right - or whatever) will not look disjointed

I have been playing around with my arrowKeys and have arrived at a VERY SIMPLE way of doing things:
I have attached the stack so you can see how this works.

Probably this is less pc clocks consuming, because you avoid infinite loops:
########CODE#######
on keydown
put keysdown() into msg
end keydown
on arrowkey
put keysdown() into msg
end arrowkey
