Running a script by releasing a Key?

[Amuscaria]

I know you cna bind a Key to a ACS script and then have it activate when you press it, but how to you get a ACS to execute only when you release the key?

Use a +/- alias, and set the +alias to do nothing while the -alias pukes the script.

you lost me. o_o

Simple. That should be put in KEYCONF. Read the wiki for more info about the syntax.

[Ryan Cordell]

addmenukey "Switch HUD" +gs_hudswitch
alias +gs_hudswitch "take RC_GS_DarkHud; give RC_GS_FutureHud"
alias -gs_hudswitch "take RC_GS_FutureHud; give RC_GS_DarkHud"
defaultbind h +gs_hudswitch

Take this for example.
+gs_hudswitch is when you're PRESSING the weapon
-gs_hudswitch is when you're NOT pressing the weapon.

Considering KEYCONF is merely a cuter way of default-izing several console commands, anything you could do in the console you could (In theory, I guess.) do in KEYCONF's options.

Take this for example.
+gs_hudswitch is when you're PRESSING the weapon
-gs_hudswitch is when you're NOT pressing the weapon.

More accurately, +gs_hudswitch executes once when you press the key, and -gs_hudswitch executes once when you release the key.

If you simply want a key to puke a script on release, set up a bind like this:

Code: Select all

alias +script_run "wait"
alias -script_run "puke 100"
bind X +script_run

When you press X, +script_run executes, which does nothing. When X is subsequently released, -script_run executes and pukes script 100. The + symbol at the start of the bind is what tells ZDoom to look for and execute a matching command beginning with - on release. It is automatic.

Now how would a toggle-able version work though?

oh i see. Thanks
