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.

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()"

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()"?

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);
}

Oh. I see now. Thanks

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.

yeah in Minecraft.gameSettings.keyBindings

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

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

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

Also, what's this?

 

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

code to open a gui

Oh, ok.
