sys_exit - 04/23/14 19:45

Hi, I am noticing that I cannot use my esc button to exit my game. I've tried:

Code:
function on_esc_event(){sys_exit("321");}


and that didn't work, which is strange since

Code:
function on_x_event(){sys_exit("321");}


^^ This does.

Hmm..?

Have you tried to set
on_esc = ...;
somewhere in your script (let's say the main function)?

Yes and with no result smirk

Its very strange as I have not defined anywhere that on_esc = null

Do you have default.c included? Normally this should not overwrite it but try to comment the include of default.c and try again.

No such luck smirk

This also happens on my other machine.

This works:


function on_grave_event(){sys_exit("321");}

with or without the default.c

Then you're overwriting on_esc yourself. This sample code works flawlessly:
Code:
#include <acknex.h>

function on_esc_event()
{
	printf("Oh yeah!");
	sys_exit(NULL);
}

that is literally the only place in my script that deals with esc.

I tried your alternative with much excitement and it didn't work for me smirk

Code:
#include <acknex.h>

void main()
{
	while(1)
	{
		DEBUG_VAR(key_esc,20);
		wait(1);
	}
}

If this shows 1 then you are overwriting it somewhere else, maybe in some include file, I don't know. Maybe add an "DEBUG_VAR(on_esc,40);" as well.

It stays at 0 :?

It was 1 giant script. There was no esc being used until I tried to define it cause it wasn't working.

If I try DEBUG_VAR(on_esc,40); I get a number 207856.813

Its a void-pointer so print out its address and not a number xD
Addresses are hex so use printf(Address: %X", on_esc);

That's fine because we now know your on_esc pointer gets not overwritten/ set to NULL.
The problem apparently is your keyboard or some other hardware/ driver issue. Have you tried to execute your code on some other PC (for example as an executable)?

I have noted it works better when the computer is restarted, but seems to only work for short amount of time.. I guess im kinda re-leaved its not 3dgs :?

Do you have another program like photoshop or something similar?
