CLEO Help key_up <key> opcode question

[mrsaxobit]

Hey.. i know of pressed_key and key_down to detect when a certain key is pressed,
but i need to detect when a certain key is lifted up, something like 

....random code in loop
wait 0
if
key_down <keycode number>
then
0ACD: show_text_highpriority "You are pressing the key" time 1000
wait 1000 
end

if
key_up <keycode number>
then
0ACD: show_text_highpriority "You stopped pressing the key" time 1000 
end

...jump to looop


I'd like to know the key_up opcode..

I think you can't possibly detect that, but it's really not necessary.. Depends on what you want to do
But, you could simply do
if key_down
then
<do something>
end

There's no opcode for that, you can call key_down and if the result is false that means the key is not pressed.
Something like this should work too.

[shcode=cpp]
if key_down XX
then
    repeat 
        wait 0
        print "you are pressing key" 10
    until not key_down XX
    print "you stopped pressing the key" 1000
end
[/shcode]

or use bool if you don't want to stop the script like:

if key_down
then
1@ = true
end

if and
key_up
1@ == true
then
1@ = false
//do something
end

This should work too If I'm not mistaking

[shcode=cpp]
wait 0
if
key_down x
then
print "Key x has been pressed" 15
else if
not key_down x
print "Please press the x key" 15
end
[/shcode]

This should work too If I'm not mistaking

[shcode=cpp]
wait 0
if
key_down x
then
print "Key x has been pressed" 15
else if
not key_down x
print "Please press the x key" 15
end
[/shcode]

This will always show the second text cuz you are telling it to show it if you are not pressing the key in general

I know, but that's one of the way to use this opcode
