[SOLVED] Problem: Keyboard not working

[Jardar]

So I have a start.lua file that loads beautifully, everything seems to work, but once i started getting into moving something around inside of the game world, I notice the keyboard isnt working when running the app.

I have no idea why this would be, however, I hope someone could point it out for me.

 

Please keep in mind that this is the first I see of LUA and my first return to Leadwerks in a couple of years, so any other pointers would be greatly appreciated as well.

 

Code(start.lua):

--Function for creating our blocks
local function createBlock(object)

local block = CreateCube()
block:SetScale( Vec3(1,1,1) )
block:SetPosition( object.coords )
block:Paint(object.material)

return block
end

--Function to place our physics bodies on blocks
local function createPhy(object)

local body = CreateBodyBox(1,1,1)
body:SetPosition( object.coords )
body:SetMass(0)
body:SetCollisionType(COLLISION_SCENE)

return body
end

--Function for creating our world
local function createWorld(materials)

--our world size
local worldSize = Vec2( 1024,2 )

--our empty world object
local worldObject = {}

--Fill our world
for y = 1, worldSize.y do

	worldObject.y = {}

	for x = 1, worldSize.x do

		local xcoord = -1*(worldSize.x/2)+x
		local ycoord = -1*worldSize.y+y

		local block = {
			coords = Vec3( xcoord, ycoord, 0 ),
			material = materials.dirt
		}

		--Insert our block
		block.entity = createBlock(block)
		block.phy = createPhy(block)
		worldObject.y.x = block

	end

end

return worldObject
end

Try including

 

require("scripts/constants/keycodes")

 

at the top. There are some extra scripts to get some constants and other functions in the scripts folder and subfolders you might want to check out.

That deffinately helped Rick, thanks
