Can't get moveMap.unbind to work

Here's a simple example of me just trying to make unbind work


function moveforward(%val)
{
moveMap.bind( keyboard, a, moveleft );
moveMap.unbind( keyboard, moveleft );
$mvForwardAction = %val;
}

when I start up, "a" does not make the character move left.
then when I moveforeward, it binds "a" to moveleft, but does not unbind it, and my character will move left. I've tried putting bind and unbind in different functions etc, but I can't figure out how to make it work. Maybe I'm just using it wrong? I've searched and can't find any info on it.

I ended up just binding the keys needed to an empty function instead of using unbind. :/

You have to unbind the key, not the command:

moveMap.unbind( keyboard, a);

Or if you want to completely deactivate the moveMap, just pop it from the stack instead of unbinding all keys:

moveMap.pop();

Then push it to reactivate it:
moveMap.push();

Ah, thanks. that makes sense now.
