Slick Forums

Hi, I'm pretty new to slick (just started making a game last week) and I've run into a problem. When I check for controller input it keeps polling true for as long as the button (from a joystick) is pressed. This seems odd given that the name of it is isButtonPressed, not isButtonDown (which doesn't exist). So I'm not sure how to get functionality like isMouseDown or isKeyDown. Any suggestions for manually getting that functionality? Should I just use an if() statement that checks for a boolean flag that gets set/unset when the button is released? Has anyone else ran into this problem?

I'm not sure if this should be a request for functionality or not so I put it in help.

It's a bit of bad naming I'm afraid. isButtonPressed() is actually like isKeyDown(). The equivilent to isKeyPressed() is isControlPressed(). RFE should be for consistent naming.

Thanks so much! I don't know how I missed the other one. I'd be all for consistent naming, just so long as it's mentioned somewhere that there was a change so I know to go back and fix it if/when its changed.

EDIT: I guess the other request I would have would be for isControlPressed(int index, int control) similar to isButtonPressed(int index, int control)

Added isControlPressed(int button, int controller).

In SVN.
