Structs:InputEvent

InputEvent is a ZScript struct mainly utilized by the InputProcess event of the event handlers, as well as other parts of the engine that interact with player input.

Fields

Non-static

All of these fields are readonly:

• EGenericEvent Type

Determines the type of the input.

• InputEvent.Type_None - No input event.
• InputEvent.Type_KeyDown - key is pressed
• InputEvent.Type_KeyUp - key is let go
• InputEvent.Type_Mouse - mouse event
• InputEvent.Type_GUI - unused
• InputEvent.Type_DeviceChange - An input device has been inserted or removed while GZDoom is running.

• int KeyScan

The internal ASCII value of the pressed key. You can detect if it's a specific input by comparing this value with the values obtained with bindings.GetAllKeysForCommand() or detect what command is bound to it by passing it to bindings.GetBinding(e.KeyScan).

In addition, the value of KeyScan can be compared to special Doom input keys.

• int KeyChar

The real ASCII value of the pressed key. It can be used to detect the name of the pressed key, but checking e.KeyString is usually more convenient.

Converting KeyChar to a string is not guaranteed to be the same as KeyString. Note that, while a bit counter-intuitive (for people unfamiliar with the console bind system), mouse buttons are considered keys for this event. For example, a left mouse click is registered as KeyDown+InputEvent.Key_Mouse1.

• String KeyString

A single-character string that contains KeyScan provided for convenience.

• int MouseX
• int MouseY

Delta values (offsets from the last mouse position). These are internally used for player aiming.
