[1.7.2] {SOLVED} Checking if a key is down every tick

[chimera27]

I was wondering if there was a way to check if a key is down every tick. The reason I need to do this is because there are a few weapons in my mod that do things if a player is holding a button. The keypressed event only updates the keybindings every time a key is pressed, and for some reason if I use TickEvent it thinks the keys never get pressed. Anyone know how to check them every tick?

If the key is released, is there an event that's fired?

 

If so, you can use your proxy class to hold the client state of which key is being held down and set it when the key is pressed, and reset the flag when released.

I wish, I would have been done an hour ago

I wonder if you can use the java.util.KeyListener class here...

import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

import java.awt.event.KeyListener;

import java.util.Timer;

 

though.. I keep thinking these should already be present or have an equivalent in minecraft.

 

Just food for thought.

ClientTickEvent. It works, contrary to what you think.
