[1.7.2] How to do something when holding key?

[Sokaya]

Like in topic.

 

Thanks for help!

Key event handlers.

Wow really?

InputEvent.KeyInputEvent only is called when key is pressed, but no when key is released.

Its amazing what kind of information you can convey in your opening post, and how a lack thereof doesn't result in useful replies.

 

Here's what I did when I needed key-up and key-down (specifically, a key bound to an existing option).

//client-side event handler
@SubscribeEvent
public void tickStart(TickEvent.ClientTickEvent event) {
	EntityPlayer player = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;
	if(player != null) {
		int jumpKey = Minecraft.getMinecraft().gameSettings.keyBindJump.getKeyCode();
		boolean sendPacket = false;
		boolean state = false;
		if(jumpKey >= 0) {
			sendPacket = HazardsEventHandler.instance.setPlayerSwimming(player, Keyboard.isKeyDown(jumpKey));
			state = Keyboard.isKeyDown(jumpKey);
		}
		else {
			jumpKey = Minecraft.getMinecraft().gameSettings.keyBindJump.getKeyCode()+100;
			if(jumpKey >= 0) {
				sendPacket = HazardsEventHandler.instance.setPlayerSwimming(player, Mouse.isButtonDown(jumpKey));
				state = Keyboard.isKeyDown(jumpKey);
			}
		}
		if(sendPacket) {
			PacketBuffer out = new PacketBuffer(Unpooled.buffer());
			out.writeBoolean(state);
			CtoSMessage packet = new CtoSMessage(player.getUniqueID(), out);
			UndergroundBase.networkWrapper.sendToServer(packet);
		}
	}
}

You'll not that there are packets involved.

I do it like that:

	@SubscribeEvent
public void tickStart(TickEvent.ClientTickEvent event)
{
	EntityPlayer player = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;

	if (player != null)
	{
		Entity ent = player.ridingEntity;
		boolean state = false;
		if (ent != null && ent instanceof EntityMyPig)
		{
			state = Keyboard.isKeyDown(ClientKeyHandler.up.getKeyCode()) || Keyboard.isKeyDown(ClientKeyHandler.down.getKeyCode());
			if(!state)
				Main.proxy.channel.sendToServer(PacketHandler.getPacket(1, Side.SERVER));
		}
	}
}

 

And my method isn't called:(

[Draco18s]

ClientKeyHandler.up.getKeyCode()
ClientKeyHandler.down.getKeyCode()

 

Wut.

 

Actually KeyInputEvent fires for key-releases, but you need 1.7.10 for that (why are you not using that?).

 

I had some issues with that, actually.  And yes, 1.7.10 here.  Do you know if it was a specific Forge version?

I've been pretty lazy about updating my dev-environment-forge.  I was likely doing a lot of my screwing around with keyboard stuff on 1180 which would, in fact, not have that change.
