See if a user is holding a key?
« on: June 29, 2014, 03:28:06 am »
How do I tell whether the user is holding a key down, in the normal event handling loop?
I just use a switch/case statement and do an action based upon if the key is pressed. But I wanna repeatedly do that action as long as the key is being held down. Could someone provide an example?

Well nevermind I noticed that it automatically does that. But what about if the user is holding down 2 keys at once?

You can use sf::Keyboard::IsKeyPressed. It returns true as long as the specified key is held down.
if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Left) && sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Right))
{
...
}
