E2 Pod Functions

[Asphid_Jackal]

So, I was screwing around the other day, when I noticed that you could get the keys the player was pressing with an E2. I was a little dismayed when I discovered you could only get the Attack1, Attack2, and Use keys, so I coded these functions. On a default configuration, we have

W = E:keyForward()
A = E:keyLeft()
S = E:keyBackward()
D = E:keyRight()
R = E:keyReload()
Shift = E:keySprint()
Space = E:keyJump()
Alt = E:keyWalk()

I've only tested these in Singleplayer, as I don't have a server of my own and therefore can't test Multiplayer, though I can't see why they wouldn't work. Pod functions may not be the best name for these, but it's the first thing that popped to mind.

Questions, comments, concerns? Feel free to post about it.

The idea is to add a proper extension for keyboard inputs, like the one ZeikJT started some time ago but never finished. It is not sustainable to add functions for every possible key.

You mean an addon that uses the KEY_* enums, instead of the IN_*enums?

I'll see if I can do something similar to that.

that would be really cool so you dont need a pod controller for some stuff

A function like E:keyPress(S) would be useful, where E is the player and S is the key (not case sensitive.)
For some reason wired keyboards don't register any of my keystrokes and the only way I can exit them is by typing "wire_keyboard_releaseinput" into the console.

I have already made something like that but it can only detect your own key strokes for security reasons.http://www.wiremod.com/forum/e2-deve...-keyboard.html
