Help with arrow keys.

[Joeyroyden]

I'm working on a script in scar 3.40 for a game that requires the use of arrow keys.

 

i've tried vkeydown(vk_up) method but...

The problem with this option is that its using the number pad up arrow [num 8] instead of the up arrow and the game has reserved the numpad for emotes. So instead of walking, my character just makes faces...

 

I then tried the keydown(chr(38)) method but for some reason its scar only types "|" repeatedly instead of using the the up arrow.

 

Has anyone come across this problem yet and are there any ideas has to a way to overcome this problem?

 

Any help is more than appreciated on this. Thank you

 

 

 

EDIT---v

 

Ok so I just made this script to try to figure out this issue

program New;
var x:integer;
begin
x:=198
cleardebug;
repeat
writeln('CHR '+inttostr(x)+ ' is: '+chr(x));
keydown(chr(x));
wait(50);
keyup(chr(x));
wait(200);
keydown(chr(x));
wait(50);
keyup(chr(x));
wait(2000);
x:=x+1  
until x=300;
end.

 

And the result was as follow

 

CHR 200 is È but in the game, it pressed up

CHR 203 is: Ë but in the game, it pressed left

CHR 205 is: Í but in the game, it pressed right

CHR 208 is: Ð but in the game, it pressed down

 

This is a long ways from what these values were in scar > 3.34

 

So the problem for me is solved but is it possible that this might be a bug in scar 3.40?
