new to zscript need help with detecting bind in a script

[specterrev]

im trying to make a script that detects if the bind for secondary fire is pressed it activates a function but i cant figure out how to detect it can anyone help?

[yum13241]

Is this "script" a weapon? If so, use the AltFire: state label.

[specterrev]

nope I'm using it in a actual script kinda as a placeholder because I couldn't figure out custom key binds for stuff and even if I did id need to figure out this anyway, so because I don't plan for weapons to have altfires I'm using it for this script

Here's an example from the GZDoom engine itself of player buttons being checked:
https://github.com/ZDoom/gzdoom/blob/eb ... r.zs#L1239

And to check a specific button you'd use (player.cmd.buttons & BT_ALTATTACK)

Other buttons here: https://zdoom.org/wiki/Player_input_buttons

And these are other cmd properties you can use: https://github.com/ZDoom/gzdoom/blob/47 ... ayer.zs#L2

i dont know if this is the correct way to reply but, i tried using "(player.cmd.buttons & BT_ALTATTACK)" in a if statement in my script and it gave me a error saying player: identifier has not been declared.

You need a player pawn variable, but it depends where you're using this script. If it's a weapon you can create one with
let player = Invoker.owner;

And I think in other cases you can do
let player = players[consoleplayer].mo; (assuming it's a single player mod)

when I try to use the code your telling me to use it just says player not defined or players not defined, so is there anything I have to add to my wad or change with my wad to get what your telling me to use to work? because my script is just a basic standard script in my wad I haven't really messed around with adding anything because I'm new to scripting with acs and coding as a whole.

You said you were using ZScript, not ACS so I posted the solution for ZScript

I'm not super familiar with ACS but this seems to be what you're looking for: https://zdoom.org/wiki/GetPlayerInput

Please show your code so we can see what you did.

so far all the code is is a empty if statement becuase i cant figure out how to use binds in it

[Jarewill]

Then try this:

Code: Select all

#library "mymod"
#include "zcommon.acs"

Script "GetAltfire" ENTER
{
	While(true)
	{
		int buttons = GetPlayerInput(-1,MODINPUT_BUTTONS);
		
		If(buttons & BT_ALTATTACK)
		{
			//Your code here
		}
		
		Delay(1);
	}
}

#library "mymod"

Script "GetAltfire" ENTER

		If(buttons & BT_ALTATTACK)
		{

		Delay(1);
	}
}

thanks that worked.
