Started on my level editor yesterday and got irritated on the bad key press commands.
New and alot better function!
Thanks to bursar on the heads up
This seams to not cause the bad string bugg at least that i encountered today
Use it like this!
if KeyBoard( KB_esc )=1 then end

My function that only checks for a-z an 0-9 !

exit_keyboard:
endfunction IsTrue
If anyone have better ideas to do this ?
Please improve my code
And to the question on how to use it ?
Simply do this!
// S key saves current level
if KeyBoard( "S" ) = 1 then SaveLevel()
// escape key exits game
if KeyBoard( "esc" ) = 1 then end

I forgot to mention that is detects if s is pressed and not S ,you dont nead to press caps lock or anything to use them in you app.
the Chr() command prints out large letters thats why i use them.

Hope anyone finds it usefull?
I simply encountered the weird command limit and string limit where this helped alot.
My first function looked like this that made the agk crash and burn!
