Key Hold CallBack

[pandavigoureux29]

Hi all,

 

I searched a long time for a callback that would be called each update when a key is pressed, like a key.onHold.add(this.onHold, this);

 

I wasn't able to find anything close in the doc or the forum, so I decided to do my own manager, and share it here.

 

Bascically the usage is like that :

 

this.keyManager = new InputKeyEventsManager(game,this);

 

That creates an Instance of InputKeyEventsManager. It "inherits" from Phaser.Sprite so the update is automatically called from the game.

The parameters are :

- the current game reference

- the targeted object, on which the callback will be called

 

Then to monitor a key:

 

this.key = this.keyManager.createKey(<Phaser.Keyboard.KeyCode>,<onDown>,<onHold>,<onUp>); 

 

That's it.

 

Now that this is done, here's my question :

Why would not this be implemented ? 

 

Don't misunderstand me, I'm sure there's a good reason and I'm just trying to understand it.

 

It's just ... I was sure this would be implemented when I first saw the Key.onDown and Key.onUp function. So I was very disappointed not seeing an onHold one.

Maybe what I'm doing is drastically cutting the performances? 

Please let me know. 

 

Thanks

You may want to look at the revised Keyboard handler in 1.2

I'll wait for the release, then (can't seem to find anything on Phaser 1.2 on the github, but I may be retarded ^^ )

 

Thanks.

Go to the Phaser github and change the 'branch' drop-down to 1.2. Then you'll see all the changes, the revised code, etc.

Ah yes thanks ! 

 

I guess I'm still a newbie on github

Oh poor boy, you're lost without me, aren't you?
