PnS key_released: missing key/characters attributes.

[DukeRoodee]

Hi guys

here's another one.
Don't know if somebody has mentioned it already...at least I couldn't find messages about it.

key_released.key
and
key_released.character (tried also key_released.characters)

don't work. Whenever I use those attributes I receive errors like these:

- error: Error: 'key' is not a member of 'Kt::Event' in /Users/rudi/Documents/AudioDevel/Projects/PnSPlayground/Skins/LetiMix/main-body.inc(833:68)
- error: Error: 'characters' is not a member of 'Kt::Event' in /Users/rudi/Documents/AudioDevel/Projects/PnSPlayground/Skins/LetiMix/main-body.inc(833:119)

The event key_released works fine by itself, it's only the 2 attributes that don't.
With key_pressed, I can access the key and characters attributes, so it may be an issue with key_released only.

Excerpt of my code:

Code: Select all

<ACTION_TRIGGER event_ids="$id$_mouseDownPTS.key_pressed" script="main_keyPressed(uint($id$_mouseDownPTS.key_pressed.key),$id$_mouseDownPTS.key_pressed.characters);" requires="$id$_mouseDownPTS.key_pressed.key;$id$_mouseDownPTS.key_pressed.characters"/>
<ACTION_TRIGGER event_ids="$id$_mouseDownPTS.key_released" script="main_keyReleased(uint($id$_mouseDownPTS.key_released.key),$id$_mouseDownPTS.key_released.characters);" requires="$id$_mouseDownPTS.key_released.key;$id$_mouseDownPTS.key_released.characters"/>

As already said ... key_pressed works like a charm, key_released misses the 2 attributes.

Hope this suits you as description...

If you are using these attributes in scripts, you need to make sure they are exposed, using the "requires" attribute in your script:

Code: Select all

requires="$id$_mouseDownPTS.key_released.key;$id$_mouseDownPTS.key_released.character"

cool ! this works, thanks for the hint.

Just to understand .... is this a bug or works-as-designed ? I ask because for the key_pressed attributes I don't have to add anything in the "requires" element...

It works the same way for both (it is similar to a linker that will strip unused symbols, except that it is not possible to detect required symbols automatically in Angelscript). I guess that these objects are used somewhere else for the key pressed event, that's why you do not need to require them again (but it's safer to do so).
