Forums » Help » key.state not recognizing

I am having issues with getting Impact to recognize new key hits when one key is already held. For instance

	if( ig.input.state('left') ) 
{
//move player left
}

	if( ig.input.state('up') ) 
{
//move player up
}


	if( ig.input.pressed('up') ) 
{
alert("you pressed up");
}
	if( ig.input.pressed('left') ) 
{
alert("you pressed left");
}

if I press and hold up to make player move up then while holding up press left the key.pressed still fires the up key. It thinks I am pressing the first button to get pressed instead of registering that I am pressing left while holding up.

Anyone else notice this issue?

That definitely shouldn't happen. How do you bind your keys? Maybe the alert() boxes get in the way? Try console.log() instead.

I am having the same issue (seems to affect input.state only, not input.pressed). To reproduce:

- Press and hold a key
- Press and hold a second key
- Release the first key (keeping the second held)
- ig.input.state will show the first key as still down.

Hmm, probably my fault - please ignore for now.
