try remove the line
#include <default.c>
That file defines standard keys, like quitting on esc and f10, changing screen res and quicksave and quickload, which might overwrite what you have set in c-script.

No problem I'm glad I was able to help out

As for esc I'm not sure- I have default.c included in my script and everything works fine. To be honest everything works fine also if I exclude it so... both are o.k. in my case. My GS version is commercial 7.50. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Btw- you can't share your vars between C-Script and Lite-C but you can use engine vars to communicate between them.
I use turb_speed for kick-effect: when enemies hit player I set turb_speed to 2 in C-Script and that triggers shake ppe in Lite-C. After 0.5 sec shake turns turb_speed back to 1.

Aha! Great to know. Thanks to you both.

Well it took me ~1 hour to get into lite-c and to be able to convert all my c-script code to lite-c, it really only is a matter of capital letters and the precompilers. And it would enable you to use all the additional lite-c functions available.
