Ffornite is this how im supposed to create a key call back

Aqua•4/4/23, 10:15 AM

take a look at https://github.com/piegfx/Pie/blob/master/Pie.Windowing/Window.Events.cs if you want to see how to implement many of the glfw callbacks

AAqua take a look at <https://github.com/piegfx/Pie/blob/master/Pie.Windowing/Window.E...

question

forniteOP•4/4/23, 10:25 AM

so i finally got the key call back thing to work

forniteOP•4/4/23, 10:25 AM

do i make a system for detecting when like a button is released or something

forniteOP•4/4/23, 10:26 AM

or are there functions for that already

forniteOP•4/4/23, 10:26 AM

i could make an list of strings and when a button is first pressed the corresponding key string is put into the list

forniteOP•4/4/23, 10:26 AM

and when it is let go

forniteOP•4/4/23, 10:26 AM

it is removed

forniteOP•4/4/23, 10:26 AM

and like that i could detect like released and pressed etc

forniteOP•4/4/23, 10:45 AM

would it be better to have char callbacks or key callbacks

forniteOP•4/4/23, 10:45 AM

wouldnt it make sense for char callbacks to be used instead cus it would support a larger range of keyboard inputs?

Lyris the Kitori•4/4/23, 10:54 AM

char inputs are meant for text boxes

Lyris the Kitori•4/4/23, 10:54 AM

key inputs are meant for game actions

Lyris the Kitori•4/4/23, 10:54 AM

such as "move right" or "pause" or "choose item slot 2"

LLyris the Kitori key inputs are meant for game actions

forniteOP•4/4/23, 11:17 AM

ah okay

forniteOP•4/4/23, 11:32 AM

how do i set the position of a cursor

Lyris the Kitori•4/4/23, 11:32 AM

mouse?

forniteOP•4/4/23, 11:33 AM

wym

Lyris the Kitori•4/4/23, 11:33 AM

do you mean a mouse cursor?

forniteOP•4/4/23, 11:33 AM

oh yeah

forniteOP•4/4/23, 11:33 AM

im using glfw

Lyris the Kitori•4/4/23, 11:33 AM

what reason do you need to?

LLyris the Kitori what reason do you need to?

forniteOP•4/4/23, 11:34 AM

i wanna make a function that lets me set the position of a cursor

forniteOP•4/4/23, 11:34 AM

so that

forniteOP•4/4/23, 11:34 AM

well just to learn

Lyris the Kitori•4/4/23, 11:34 AM

ah, it's somewhere in the glfw docs

Lyris the Kitori•4/4/23, 11:34 AM

it can do so iirc

forniteOP•4/4/23, 11:34 AM

yeah im looking but

Ffornite yeah im looking but

forniteOP•4/4/23, 11:35 AM

i can only find like setting callbacks and stuff

Ffornite how do i set the position of a cursor

Aqua•4/4/23, 11:45 AM

glfwSetCursorPos

glfwSetCursorPos

iirc

forniteOP•4/4/23, 12:35 PM

when im detecting the scroll wheel what happens is if i move it lets say up

forniteOP•4/4/23, 12:35 PM

and then let go

forniteOP•4/4/23, 12:35 PM

its still gonna keep counting it as up

forniteOP•4/4/23, 12:35 PM

so is there any way to prevent that

forniteOP•4/4/23, 12:36 PM

so that it goes back to 0,0 when i stop scrolling up

Ffornite its still gonna keep counting it as up

Aqua•4/4/23, 12:37 PM

no? the scroll callback is called when the wheel is scrolled and just returns the offset since the last time the callback was called
so it resets itself

AAqua no? the scroll callback is called when the wheel is scrolled and just returns th...

forniteOP•4/4/23, 3:43 PM

ohh

forniteOP•4/4/23, 3:43 PM

can i somehow check if a certain input event is called during a frame

forniteOP•4/4/23, 3:43 PM

rather than having a callback thing

forniteOP•4/5/23, 9:09 AM

are the input callbacks called every frame if i hold down that input

Lyris the Kitori•4/5/23, 9:11 AM

this feels quite easy to test

forniteOP•4/5/23, 9:30 AM

so its not every frame

forniteOP•4/5/23, 9:34 AM

im so stuck on this bit

forniteOP•4/5/23, 9:35 AM

instead of a callback method to an input event is there not any way to test with an if statement

forniteOP•4/5/23, 9:35 AM

i cant find anything in the documentation

Aqua•4/5/23, 9:36 AM

you can do something like glfwGetKeyDown (idr the actual name, something like that) to check if a single key is held
apart from that, no, but it's really not that complex to deal with

forniteOP•4/5/23, 9:37 AM

im still trying to do it with the scoll wheel

forniteOP•4/5/23, 9:37 AM

i have a vector with the direction the scroll wheel is moving in

is this how im supposed to create a key call back
