Thread: DIK_[ArrowKey] not work?

Try this.

Code:

bool Input::KeyDown(char DIK)
{
  return (keystate[DIK] & 0x80) ? true : false;
}

Perhaps operator precedence is the problem.

I run into similar probs when doing this:

Code:

void SomeFunc(int mode)
{
  if (mode & SET_VAR==SET_VAR) DoSomething();
  ...
}

That won't work. The bitwise and operation must have parentheses around it. Not sure it's your problem but it might be. Everything else looks ok.

Here's mine and it looks the same:

Code:

bool CD3DApp::InitInput(void)
{
  Input.Init(m_hAppInstance);

  Keyboard=new CKeyboard(Input.GetInterface());
  if (!Keyboard) return false;

  Keyboard->Init(m_hwndAppWindowHandle);

  Mouse=new CMouse(Input.GetInterface());
  if (!Mouse) {return false;};
  
  
  Mouse->Init(m_hwndAppWindowHandle);

  return true;
}

Code:

#include "CDXinput.h"


HRESULT CDXInput::Init(HINSTANCE hinst)
{
    //Create IDirectInput8 interface pointer 
    if (FAILED(DirectInput8Create(hinst, 
                              DIRECTINPUT_VERSION, 
                              IID_IDirectInput8, 
                              (void**)&_pDI8, 
                              NULL)))
    {
        ::MessageBox(0,"Failed to create DirectInput8 interface",0,0);
    }
    return true;

}

Code:

HRESULT CKeyboard::Init(HWND window)
{
    
    //Create device
    if (FAILED(_pDI8->CreateDevice(GUID_SysKeyboard, 
                                   &_pDID8, 
                                   NULL)))
    {
        ::MessageBox(0,"Could not create keyboard device",0,0);
    }
    
    
    //Set cooperative level
    if (FAILED(_pDID8->SetCooperativeLevel(window,
                                           DISCL_BACKGROUND | DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE)))
    {
        ::MessageBox(0,"Could not set keyboard cooperative level",0,0);
    }

    //Set data format
    if (FAILED(_pDID8->SetDataFormat(&c_dfDIKeyboard)))
    {
        ::MessageBox(0,"Could not set keyboard data format",0,0);
    }

    //Acquire the keyboard
    if (FAILED(_pDID8->Acquire()))
    {
        ::MessageBox(0,"Could not acquire keyboard device",0,0);
    }

    return true;
} 

HRESULT CKeyboard::Update(void)
{
    HRESULT hr;
   
    //Make sure we still have the device
    //If so fill keystate with current state values representing current
    //keyboard state
    hr=(_pDID8->GetDeviceState(sizeof(keystate),(LPVOID)&keystate));
    if (hr==DIERR_INPUTLOST)
    {
        ::MessageBox(0,"Input lost",0,0);
    }
   
    return true;
}

I split it up so the engine does all of it for you once you init the engine. You never call these functions directly.

But it looks the same. Not sure why you are having probs.

Roflmao.

No worries bud. Shakti just found my oodles of memory leaks in my editor code and it was a really dumb mistake.

Look at this:

Code:

Object *obj=new Object();
Object *obj2=obj;
obj2=new Object();

That is essentially what I was doing. Doh!!! So we all make the same crazy errors.

Glad you got it working.

How are you doing bounding boxes with ID3DXSPRITE? I couldn't get to the vertex data to create the bounding box.
