E2 Keyboard

[Snuffy]

I think someone made e2 keyboard but i remember thinking it had too many functions and not very user friendly,I couldn't find the thread so i made my own e2 extension.

key(S) --just put the key u want to check and it will return 1 or 0(1 being pushed down)

runOnKey("S") -- runs the e2 when key "S" is pressed , if you put "all" then it will run the e2 on all key presses

lastKey() -- will return last key pressed

keyClk(s) -- returns 1 or 0 weather that key ran the e2 (for use with runOnKey(s) )

Example

runOnKey("G")
if(key("G"))
{
    print("HOLY CRAP!!! I PUSHED THE G KEY!!!!")
}

----Note----
OK i updated it so tat uppercase and lower case of all letters and characters work, and i added allot to the remap
Also for special keys like the shift keys look at IN KEYS - GMod Wiki
Just remove the "KEY_".Like for space the wiki says "KEY_SPACE" but you have to get rid of the "KEY_" and just use "SPACE".

If you have any problems or suggestions pls tell me.

keyboard.lua

cl_keyboard.lua

you misspelled those filenames.

why the think hook, btw? can't you just use KeyPress/KeyRelease hooks?

[Snuffy]

i don't care about the spelling. And the Key press hook only works for the IN_ keys not the KEY_ keys, witch is the majority of the keyboard.

I don't like using con commands for this kind of thing... They are pretty hacky but I guess thats the only way. :/ Also it looks like you borrowed a lot of code from the gmod_wire_keyboard. 0_0

i the only thing i copied was the remap but that was just repetitive crap,i also added some to it. and i got the idea of using con commands instead of data streams (witch i still don't understand) from them.

Wired keyboard uses concommands, doesn't it

I already started a version that used datastream to send key buffers >:|.

yes, tats why i said i got the idea to use con commands from it

[Snuffy]

i was thinking of making a runOnKey("S") but i don't know to cause an execution on an e2 from lua.

Also concommands = datastream.
It's the same thing, datastream is just another layer on-top.
