What's it called please / how does it do it? John John, the normal function in GML is: Keyboard_check(key) - This will count as a press for each cycle that the key is pressed The other function is: keyboard_check_pressed(key) - this will only register once, then the key will need to be depressed before pressing it again. I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes :) The above also work for inputs from a microcontroller through a .dll. I sort of expected a high-level language such as BASIC to have an easier implementation of this than C++ or the like. Jim's example above is great, but it is as - if not more - involved, than the Arduino counterpart. . Edited 2020-12-02 03:12 by Decoy
