GenericMenu OnInputEvent is not firing!!!

[Nash]

Code: Select all

class MyMenu : GenericMenu
{
    override bool OnInputEvent(InputEvent ev)
    {
        if (ev.Type == InputEvent.Type_KeyDown)
        {
            Console.Printf("Pressed key: %d", ev.KeyScan);
            return true;
        }
        return Super.OnInputEvent(ev);
    }

    override void Drawer(void)
    {
        Screen.Dim(Color(0, 0, 0),
            0.4,
            -2 * CleanXFac,
            Screen.GetHeight() - ((SmallFont.GetHeight() * 2) * (CleanYFac + 2)),
            Screen.GetWidth() + (2 * CleanXFac),
            Screen.GetHeight());

        Screen.DrawText(SmallFont, Font.CR_WHITE,
            3 * CleanXFac, Screen.GetHeight() - ((SmallFont.GetHeight() * 2) * (CleanYFac + 1)),
            "My Awesome Menu!", DTA_CleanNoMove, true);

        Super.Drawer();
    }
}
 

I can NOT get the input event to fire at all. What am I doing wrong?

Is this a bug? I don't see anything wrong at all with this very short example.

OnInputEvent() is for in-game input only. For menu you need to override OnUIEvent() function.

If it's for in-game input, why is it defined as a virtual for the Menu class? Looks like ZDoom's own menus also use this, but it magically works there but not for me. :(

I meant that it's a special function to handle in-game like input. For example, to get a proper key for input customization. In this case it works because of menuactive set to a special value.

This is what I've been trying to do but I just cannot figure it out.

I want something to happen in my menu when the player presses whatever button is bound to, say "netevent EV_MySpecialFuction". I need this to work with any input - mouse, keyboard, gamepad, etc.

This function is for binding keys. You cannot really operate the menu with it.
