I've almost completed my keyboard configuration code, but I need a way to properly retrieve the input from the player. Currently I'm using Sup.Input.getTextEntered() and it works pretty good the way I have it setup. The problem is, characters like ";" or "," can't be used with Sup.Input.wasKeyJustPressed() because it expects "SEMICOLON" and "COMMA". Is there an easier way to retrieve "KEYNAME" besides storing the characters in an array and manually converting them to their proper input names?
I'm not sure if there's an easy way to do this, but if you need a list of all the special key names, there's a comment in the TypeScript API browser in Sup.Input that says:
// Valid key names (based on window.KeyEvent.DOM_VK_*):
// CANCEL, HELP, BACK_SPACE, TAB, CLEAR, RETURN, SHIFT, CONTROL, ALT,
// PAUSE, CAPS_LOCK, ESCAPE, SPACE, PAGE_UP, PAGE_DOWN, END, HOME,
// LEFT, UP, RIGHT, DOWN, PRINTSCREEN, INSERT, DELETE,
// 0 to 9, SEMICOLON, EQUALS, A to Z,
// CONTEXT_MENU, NUMPAD0 to NUMPAD9,
// MULTIPLY, ADD, SEPARATOR, SUBTRACT, DECIMAL, DIVIDE,
// F1 to F24, NUM_LOCK, SCROLL_LOCK, COMMA, PERIOD, SLASH, BACK_QUOTE,
// OPEN_BRACKET, BACK_SLASH, CLOSE_BRACKET, QUOTE, META
//
// Additionnally, ANY will return true for any key
// and NONE will return true for no keys
I ended up storing the acceptable values in an array and cycling through each one with Sup.Input.wasKeyJustPressed() in a for-loop. Works really well, although it seems SEMICOLON, ADD, and SUBTRACT/EQUALS, aren't detected at all and doesn't resond to being pressed. But In any case, I got it working :D
