[1.7.2]Any key holding method? or any suggestion on how to do this?

Hi guys, it's me TheLorizz and I found this version a little harder and confusing than the others.

I miss the old keyDown and keyUp methods and the hold KeyHandler from forge, but how do I do similiar things in forge 1.7.2?

That's my class:

KeyHandler (FMLEvents):

package com.thelorizz.protocraft.handler;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.settings.KeyBinding;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;

import org.lwjgl.input.Keyboard;

import cpw.mods.fml.client.registry.ClientRegistry;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.gameevent.InputEvent.KeyInputEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.gameevent.TickEvent.ClientTickEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

public class ProtoKeyHandler {

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public KeyBinding jump = new KeyBinding("Proto Jump", Keyboard.KEY_SPACE,
		"Protocraft"); //On mod loading, automatically the normal jump will be bound to Keyboard.KEY_L
                                              //com.thelorizz.protocraft.handler.gameupdater.updateKeybinds:line 32;

public ProtoKeyHandler() {
	ClientRegistry.registerKeyBinding(jump);
}

public boolean isHeld = false;

/**
 * KeyInputEvent is in the FML package, so we must register to the FML event
 * bus
 */
@SubscribeEvent
public void onKeyInput(KeyInputEvent event) {
	// Salto
	EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;
	if (jump.isPressed() && this.isHeld == false) {
		this.isHeld = true;
		double motionY = player.motionY;
		System.out.println("Caricando salto!");
		do {
			System.out.println(motionY);
			if (motionY >= 1) {
				player.motionY = motionY;
				player.jump();
				this.isHeld = false;
			} else {
				motionY += 0.1D;
				player.motionY = motionY;
			}
		} while (this.isHeld);
		// player.jump();
		this.isHeld = false;
	}
}
}

How can I do a "keyHold" method like I did in 1.5.2 with keyUp and keyDown methods?

Ps: and possibly, can I use "ClientTickEvent" for doing a key's code every tick?

Thanks, lorizz =)

Here ya go: https://github.com/coolAlias/Tutorial-1.7.2/blob/master/src/main/java/tutorial/client/KeyHandler.java

There is now KeyInputEvent, and you can check if your KeyBinding or any vanilla KeyBinding is pressed or not.

thats...unfair. I bumped my post 3 times and nobody answered. You bumped your post 1 time and get an answer...

and thx for the link, could be useful for me too

But any method like this?

if (isKeyPressed) {
print("pressed");
} else {
print("released");
}

With KeyInputEvent you can't because anytime you release a key, it stops there, no more calling.

Made it on my own.

Created a new EventHandler wich contains a new FMLEvent (no CPW's modifies) that is called in there:

In the Minecraft runTick method:

while (Keyboard.next())
            {
                [...]

                if (Keyboard.getEventKeyState())
                {
                    [...]
                    FMLCommonHandler.instance().fireKeyInput(); //KeyInputEvent (on key press)
                } else {
                	ProtoEventHandler.instance().fireKeyOutput(); //My KeyOutputEvent (on key release)
                }
            }

            }

Does this work in mp without packets?

The server has never access to keys without packets. What do you expect? Magic?

Thats what confused me. I thought that maybe there now is an easy to use 1-line build in feature...

What I did is only for Single Player and it works perfectly.

Diesen is there a build in minecraft wait method, or something that can make it? Because I tried with the Timers, Thread-classes and ScheduledExecutorService but my minecraft crashes.

This is what I want to do:

double counter = 0.4D;
while(keys[PROTOJUMP].getIsKeyPressed) {
     counter += 0.015D;
     if(counter >= 1.0D) {
          player.motionY = counter;
          counter = 0.4D;
     }
     //There I want the timer, because without it the thread crashes
}

Without an update function how can I do it?

20 ticks = 1 second but in this case it isn't:

private int ticks = 0;
public void onTick() {
	if (ticks % 20 == 0) {
		System.out.println("One second!");
	}
	ticks++;
}

I'm so confused

You probably want a TickHandler.

Eheh but this is 1.7.2, I didn't understand TickEvents at all.

This is the problem

do I need to do something like:

@SubscribeEvent
public void keyDown(ClientTickEvent event) {
                if (event.phase == Phase.START) {
	final EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;
	if (mc.inGameHasFocus) {
		while (keys[PROTOJUMP].getIsKeyPressed()) {
			jumpCounter += 0.015D;
			if (jumpCounter >= 1.0D) {
				player.motionY = jumpCounter;
				jumpCounter = 0.4D;
			}
			jumpStarted = true;
                                onTick();
		}
	}
              }
}

private int ticks = 0;
public void onTick() {
     if(ticks % 20 == 0) {
          System.out.println("1 second passed");
     }
     ticks++;
}

Looks good to me on a quick glance.

Uhmm that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas

If you need to check that a key is pressed constantly, don't do that inside the key input event, and not with a while loop. I'm pretty sure that the key input event is called when a key is pressed, or released, but not any time in between. It is not a tick event.

I suggest using some kind of onUpdate method, be it in a custom item, onLivingUpdate for players, a tick event for clients, or whatever, then you can check if your key is pressed just like you did, and perform the action every tick:

public void someMethodCalledEveryTick(EntityPlayer player) {
// make sure you are on the client!
if (player.worldObj.isRemote && YourKeyClass.keys[PROTOJUMP].getIsKeyPressed()) {
// jump code
}
}

It finally works, I used onUpdate from an extended EntityPlayer class =)

Thanks all!
