Hi...
I'm working on a little debug filterscript and I'd need to know how / if it's possible to detect if a player is pressing a certain key while he is frozen (TogglePlayerControllable)

if I use the normal way

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerKeyStateChange(playerid, newkeys, oldkeys)
{
  if((newkeys & KEY_ACTION) && !(oldkeys & KEY_ACTION))
  {
    SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x999999AA, "Key pressed");
  }
  return 1;
}

it doesn't work (I'm not sending that msg in my code, this is just an example)...
it works with no key, I've tried different keys...

is there a plugin, include or another way to do it?

(please don't reply and suggest to use one of the existing debug scripts)

thanks

what you mean?
I've tried on different ways (onplayerkeystatechange, onplayerupdate and a timer) and nothing works..
I could try just to set the player in any interior or so and later set him back to the pos, however I would dislike to do that... hehe

Sorry lol, i have incurred an annoying habit ( reading titles only, and reply ) caused by this forum being spammed by Childs.

Try GetPlayerKeys under OnPlayerUpdate.
It works perfectly, but your code should work too.

Look's like you did the same mistake as me.

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerKeyStateChange(playerid, newkeys, oldkeys)
{
    if(newkeys & KEY_FIRE)
    {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x999999AA, "Key pressed");
    }
    return 1;
}

Be sure that you have also returned your OnPlayerKeyStateChange in your Gamemode to 1

pawn Код:

//Main Gamemode Script..
//...
public OnPlayerKeyStateChange(playerid, newkeys, oldkeys)
{
    //Your stuff in your Gamemode...
    return 1; //<-- Set this to 1 to call this callback in another scripts (Filterscripts, etc.)
}
//Some other stuff you have added...

P.S.: I won't suggest to use GetPlayerKeys on OnPlayerUpdate since this function will be called when a player sends a sync (rapidly)

[Sascha]

dude... I would advice you to read what I've said before and try it the way I described...
when the player is frozen (TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, 0) none of this ways works for me, so please don't suggest me a way that I've already mentioned not to work...

Don't know why it doesn't work for you, but OnPlayerKeyStateChange works for me (frozen or not).

[Sascha]

weird..

[MadeMan]

Are you inside a vehicle when trying?

[armyoftwo]

It should work when player is freezed. In my script it works. I think the problem is somewhere else in the script
Try the code without freezing the player and see if it works

i do it like this

pawn Код:

if(newkeys == KEY_ACTION && oldkeys != KEY_ACTION)

[Sascha]

nop, I'm outside of a vehicle... sec I'll post my code...

the command that freezes the player also sets sgtPlayerVehicle[playerid] = 0

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerKeyStateChange(playerid, newkeys, oldkeys)
{
    if(sgtPlayerVehicle[playerid] != -1)
    {
        if((newkeys & KEY_SECONDARY_ATTACK) && !(oldkeys & KEY_SECONDARY_ATTACK))
        {
            TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, Info);
            TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, Name[playerid]);
            DestroyVehicle(sgtVehicle[playerid]);
            sgtVehicle[playerid] = -1;
            sgtPlayerVehicle[playerid] = -1;
            TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, 1);
            SetCameraBehindPlayer(playerid);
        }
        else if((newkeys & KEY_ACTION) && !(oldkeys & KEY_ACTION))
        {
            TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, Info);
            TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, Name[playerid]);
            sgtVehicle[playerid] = -1;
            sgtPlayerVehicle[playerid] = -1;
            TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, 1);
            SetCameraBehindPlayer(playerid);
        }
    }
    return 1;
}
