capslock issue

by Amjad Yahya · in Torque Game Builder · 10/20/2011 (9:22 am) · 1 replies

I want to bind capslock key to a function, but not like any regular key when pressed down or pressed up, I want to bind the capslock "on" mode to a function and the "off" mode to another. Is this possible?

Thanks in Advance.

You'll need to modify the source code to do this. I did something similar with the Control key.

Check out vcpptips.wordpress.com/2009/01/19/how-to-check-the-caps-lock-is-on-or-off/.

For my purpose, I just needed a function like this in my code
ConsoleFunction( isControlDown, bool, 1, 1, "()" )
{
  S32 test = GetKeyState( VK_CONTROL );
  return (test == -127 || test == -128 );
}
which I could then call from TorqueScript.

In your case, you may need to put this test in the main loop and check when it changes state.
