Keyboard controls and the debug console

[skalibran]

Hey there, its me again with two stupid questions 

 

I looked for many examples on the web to understand how I can execute code when a key is pressed. Unfortunetaly, nothing worked for me. Is there a easy way to do this? I just need something like

 

if(key.A)

{

     variableNumber = 1;

}

 

Then I want to check some variables, so I tried to use the console from the debug layer:

console.log(varTest);

 

The console still tells me only that the Babylon.js engine launched.

Any way to feed the console?

 

Thanks for help!

Hi, try this:

var keys={letft:0,right:0,forward:0,back:0};window.addEventListener("keydown", handleKeyDown, false);window.addEventListener("keyup", handleKeyUp, false);function handleKeyDown(evt){    if (evt.keyCode==65){//A        keys.left=1;    }    if (evt.keyCode==68){//D        keys.right=1;    }    if (evt.keyCode==87){//W        keys.forward=1;    }    if (evt.keyCode==83){//S        keys.back=1;    }}function handleKeyUp(evt){    if (evt.keyCode==65){        keys.left=0;    }    if (evt.keyCode==68){        keys.right=0;    }    if (evt.keyCode==87){        keys.forward=0;    }    if (evt.keyCode==83){        keys.back=0;    }}and hereengine.runRenderLoop(function () {     if (keys.left==1)    {        //move left    }    if (keys.right==1)    {        //move right    }    if (keys.back==1)    {        //move back    }    if (keys.forward==1)    {        //move forward    }});

Isn't the best, but is a solution.
