Question about Keybinds in CoD4

[jeffy]

I hope someone can answer my question:

I want to script keybinds, to make a gametype, that allows you, to perform special ways of movement by pressing the key, what was written to Config.

That means, if somebody holds the space bar for over 2 Secounds, he should perform a powerjump. If he did a Powerjump and presses C, he should make an "air punch"

Well, the problem is, there is no funktion like "if( self c_buttonpressed() )"

So, could you guys help me, to understand, how you made the Menuresponse, like a custom Votebutton (Works the same)



If you want to know, what i want do do: I want to make a gametype called Crysis 2 (cry2 as g_gametype tag), that allows you, to perform the same movement like in Crysis 2 Multiplayer. So, I'd like, if somebody can help me. Of corss I'll Write Credits to the animated Welcome Message.

Thanks for help, mates.

Oh, Btw: I'm new to CoD Jumper, so please forgive, if this isn't the correct board.

menuresponses cant monitor prolonged keypresses (no "keeping pressed" possible)

Maybe cod4 allows for if(self buttonpressed("c")) or smthing, but i wouldnt count on it (if any, buttonpressed() is the way to go)

Only in Single player and on consoles can keypresses be detected.
You can create a menu bind for detecting keypress, but not key held.

You could maybe time between two keypresses and create a function accordingly.

Well, that's relative good news, but how to do it on an example?

[Rezil]

Code: Select all

checkKeyPress(key) {
	while(1) {
		if(self buttonPressed(key)) iprintln("You are pressing the button: " +key);
		wait 0.25;
      }
}

Call on level.player in SP. Keys are for example "BUTTON_A", "BUTTON_B", etc. Untested but should work.

Well, i would like to get help, how to do such a thing in Multiplayer. How to make an invisible menu with a Menuresponse?


Edit:

1 Thing i found out:

Code: Select all

		itemDef
		{
			name			"window"
			visible			0 // makes the text invisible.
			rect			16 20 0 0
			origin			ORIGIN_QUICKMESSAGEWINDOW
			forecolor		1 1 1 1
			textfont		UI_FONT_NORMAL
			textstyle		ITEM_TEXTSTYLE_SHADOWED
			textscale		TEXTSIZE_SMALL
			textaligny		8
			text			"Powerjump_eneble" // justt, that i know, for what it is
			decoration
		}
		execKey "1" { close quickmessage; open quickcommands }// this is my question - see above!

close quiclmessage.... --> well, could I also call a thread with this? that'd be perfect.

like:

execKey "3" { self thread lol::init() }


Well, please tell - even, if it's possible only at a different way.

you do not call function from the menu files, you call "menu responses" and they are detected by a function in CoD that is then parsed and given the correct functions.
