Actionmap Issue, 2 button pressed the same time

by Jarl Lundin Jensen · in Torque Game Builder · 09/01/2009 (7:22 pm) · 2 replies

I have implemented a coop mode in my game.

first I just added the keys to the present movemap, I get an issue where one of the player will do nothing even though the button is pressed, if another button was pressed at the same time.

I tried loading a new actionmap for the new player, but the result is the same ?

    1. Do your keys work properly for both players individually? (i.e. as long as only one player moves at a time, can you move them both?)
    2. Do simultaneous keys work properly for one player?
    3. Is this entirely with the keyboard? Most keyboards use a key matrix which limits the number of pressed keys which can be simultaneously recognized. It also depends on which keys they are. For example, I can hit "AWDRTHM" all together and my keyboard can recognize it (but fails if I try to add in "K") whereas I can't even hit "AWS" all together because that causes a key matrix conflict. If you have a joystick/game pad, you might try setting the controls such that one player uses the keyboard and the other uses the joystick/game pad.
