[SOLVED] Keyboard direct input isKeyPressed not working
« on: July 04, 2014, 05:20:10 am »
I'm currently playing around SFML for the first time. I initially made my player movements with Events but it was always delayed. So I tried this

                if( sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed( sf::Keyboard::Up ) )
                {
                        player.move(0, -5);
                }

This come from the documentation, but nothing move in my game.

It seems really simple, do I forget something ?

Edit : Forgot to say, its not in a PollEvent loop

That's not an event, so it's correct to not put it in the pollEvent loop.

Could you show us a complete and minimal example?  Since that snippet looks fine all we can do is guess.

This is also a good opportunity to learn to use a debugger.  By setting a breakpoint on this if statement you could easily check whether or not it ever gets executed, which would help you figure out things like this yourself next time.

Thanks for the reply,

I was going crazy about this yesterday (2:00AM).

This morning I found the problem, it dosen't come from the code but from a software. I use Synergy to share Keyboard / Mouse on multiple computer and it was messing with my code.

Erg, stupid mistake but atleast its now resolved.
