Detecting a Key Press?

[TLHPoE]

I just made a TickHandler and registered it. Not sure if detecting a key press is supposed to be placed inside a TickHandler, hopefully it's the right way.

 

My TickHandler:

 

 

package deathman12e3.legendaryutilities;

import java.util.EnumSet;
import org.lwjgl.input.Keyboard;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.ITickHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.TickType;

public class TickHandler implements ITickHandler
{

@Override
public void tickStart(EnumSet<TickType> type, Object... tickData)
{

	if(Keyboard.isKeyDown(Keyboard.KEY_R))
	{

		System.out.println("HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII");

	}

}

@Override
public void tickEnd(EnumSet<TickType> type, Object... tickData)
{



}

@Override
public EnumSet<TickType> ticks()
{

	return null;

}

@Override
public String getLabel()
{

	return null;

}

}

 

 

 

My problem is that it never prints anything.

you can also make a class that extends KeyHandler and regsiter that class, will probably be easier

Is there an easier way to detect a key press? Packet Handlers and all those seem like a lot of work just to detect when a key is pressed.

[hydroflame]

why would you need a packet handler ? its a key press

 

example:

import java.util.EnumSet;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.settings.KeyBinding;

import org.lwjgl.input.Keyboard;

import cpw.mods.fml.client.registry.KeyBindingRegistry.KeyHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.TickType;

public class HBKeyHandler extends KeyHandler {

public HBKeyHandler() {
	super(new KeyBinding[]{new KeyBinding("configure health bar", Keyboard.KEY_C)}, new boolean[]{false});
}

@Override
public String getLabel() {
	return "hbkh";
}

@Override
public void keyDown(EnumSet<TickType> types, KeyBinding kb,
		boolean tickEnd, boolean isRepeat) {
	if(Minecraft.getMinecraft().inGameHasFocus){
		Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.openGui(MainMod.instance, 0, Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld, 0, 0, 0);
	}
}

@Override
public void keyUp(EnumSet<TickType> types, KeyBinding kb, boolean tickEnd) {

}

@Override
public EnumSet<TickType> ticks() {
	return null;
}

}

also, your TickHandler is not working because you are not returning null in "public EnumSet<TickType> ticks()"

[TLHPoE]

Nah, I'll just stick with a TickHandler. I think I'll need it later in a little bit.

 

And what do you mean by my TickHandler is not returning null in "public EnumSet<TickType> ticks()"?

[hydroflame]

Nah, I'll just stick with a TickHandler. I think I'll need it later in a little bit.

*hydroflame goes suspicisous mode.... hmmmm*

 

anyway

hum you are returning null

 

@Override
public EnumSet<TickType> ticks(){
	return null;
}

and you should be returning something :

@Override
public EnumSet<TickType> ticks() {
	return EnumSet.of(TickType.PLAYER);
}

[TLHPoE]

Oh. I see now. Thanks

[TLHPoE]

Small little question, do you happen to know where the Minecraft stores it's key bindings? I'm trying to get what key is used in the binding for the inventory.

[hydroflame]

yeah in Minecraft.gameSettings.keyBindings

[TLHPoE]

Sorry if I keep bothering you, but is there a iskeyPress method? There's only a isKeyDown method in Keyboard.

[hydroflame]

well if you were using a keyhandler you wouldnt have to worry about that, but no there isnt

[TLHPoE]

Ok, I just made my KeyHandler. I'll just set a boolean to toggle when the key is down and up.

[TLHPoE]

Also, what's this?

 

	if(Minecraft.getMinecraft().inGameHasFocus){
		Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.openGui(mod_LegendaryUtilities.instance, 0, Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld, 0, 0, 0);
	}

[hydroflame]

code to open a gui

[TLHPoE]

Oh, ok.
