help with adding keys...

ok, I have a flashlight script that uses two button to trigger it. the f key on a pc keyboard and the x-box 360 controller button joy_5. it works fine.

I want to do the same for other codes i have with no success. i want to use the keyboard and the the 360 controller to trigger these other things as well. when i try to add the other keys, I get errors. what can i do? i want to have the option to use either the mouse and keyboard or the 360 controller buttons.

var input[2];
#define key_jump 0
#define key_shoot 1

function handle_input() {
if(use_xbox) {
input[key_jump] = scan code from joy_5, see "key mapping";
input[key_shoot] ...
}
else {
set input[] key_board scan codes
}

Then in your functions:
if(key_pressed(input[key_shoot]) && ...) { }

thanks for the response superku, seems like a lot of work. cant i simply just add something like my example to the existing code? i just dont want to ruin the code i have by adding too much. the code i am trying to change works perfectly when i switch and use either mouse/keyboard combo or 480, but gives me errors when i add both to the script. its either on_k or joy_10, as an example. why doesnt this work?

on_mouse_right && joy_10=gravitation_gun;

This "on_mouse_right && joy_10=gravitation_gun;" is wrong syntax.
Try
on_mouse_right =gravitation_gun;
on_joy_10=gravitation_gun;

i actually tried that and i got an error on joy_10.
thats why i need help.

truthfully, i dont mind using the graviton gun as is, is my other weapons. i want them to be able t be used with either te keyboard or360 buttons.

update: ok, I was able to add a key to one weapon script, let's see if I can figure the rest out. for some reason it didnt work before. maybe i did something wrong.

ok, this is at the end of my script on one of the weapons. i tried adding a key to it and i got a "too many variables" error.

on_joy3 = create_boomerang;

I changed it to :
on_joy3 + on_b = create_boomerang;
and tried:
on_joy3 + on_key_b = create_boomerang;
got errors.

as Superku say: don`t use && or + in on_x.

Use only one key or joy for one on_xxx

on_joy3 = create_boomerang;
on_b = create_boomerang;

Edit: joy_10 is wrong, use joy10 (USE THE MANUAL !!!)

I know Widi, I am not a newb, I just forgot how to do some things, yelling USE THE MANUAL!!! doesnt really help..

Problem solved?

yes, I figured it out after all. I had some distractions in my life that has caused me not to think clearly, so I didnt see the obvious solutions. Thanks for asking, Superku.

Want to know it too...

@ widi- that was a useless post- i keep getting moaned at about posting them.

Why useless? I give a solution and want to know it helps.

doesnt make much sense and is a small message. whenever i post like that i get moaned at by mods.

No, you don't understand. Widi wrote "Want to know it too..." because Blink had solved the problem but he did not write the solution.

i'll just be quiet on this topic only.

bye bye

ok, ad widi posted is what i figured out.

on_joy3 = create_boomerang;
on_b = create_boomerang;

that solved the problem.

Great. Have a nice day.
