SDL input [solved]

I don't get what I'm doing wrong, I am attempting to make is so when I press the b key it only does the action once, right now it loops through a whole bunch of times.
Code: Select all
bool battle = false;
bkey = false
while(!done)
{
//key input
Uint8 *key = SDL_GetKeyState (NULL);
if (key[SDLK_b])
{
if (bkey == false)
{
bkey = true;
if(battle == true)
{
battle = false;
}
else if(battle == false)
{
battle = true;
}
}
else
{
bkey = false;
}
}

Try putting the:
Here:
Code: Select all
if(key[SDLK_b])
{
//do whatever you posted
}
else
{
bkey=false;
}
The one you wrote gets the b input, sets the bool to true and does whatever, BUT, if its still pressed, it resets it to false. Your else statement is in the wrong place.

No problem, I've made that mistake before.
