Modifying Inkey

Good Morning,

I'd like to ask if there is any way to redefine the inkey events, e.g. "Cursor Down" aborts the input and restores the original string. How can I keep the string on "Cursor Down"?

I guess I could just copy the inkey string to a backup string and then restore it manually after cursor down is pressed, but that doesn't seem very feasible.

I also thought about programming my own pseudo-inkey function with on_anykey, but if there's a way to avoid it, I'd be glad to hear about it.

You could re-activate inkey, when pressing Cursor Down like this:

if(key_cud){while(){wait(1);} inkey_active = 1;}

Didn't test it. If this is sufficient, depends also on your other needs.

Thanks for the hint. I'll look into it.

As of now I think I really need my own version of inkey since I plan to use improved chat features like quest linking and the likes.

Hi!

Look up in_key...you can cancel with a "if"
