_BUTTON - TerryRitchie - 04-03-2023
I'm looking to write an input driver for the project I'm working on. _BUTTON and the various related functions seems to be what I'm looking for. However, the table for the keyboard device button numbers, found here in the wiki: https://qb64phoenix.com/qb64wiki/index.php/Controller_Devices
does not match the output when I run the example code found on the same page. The keyboard numbers I'm getting are completely different from the chart. Why is this?
Code: (Select All)
PRINT "Use relative mouse movement mode with ESC key exit only?(Y/N) ";
K$ = UCASE$(INPUT$(1))
PRINT K$
PRINT
FOR i = 1 TO _DEVICES 'DEVICES MUST be read first!
PRINT STR$(i) + ") " + _DEVICE$(i) + " Buttons:"; _LASTBUTTON(i); ",Axis:"; _LASTAXIS(i); ",Wheel:"; _LASTWHEEL(i)
NEXT
IF K$ = "Y" THEN dummy = _MOUSEMOVEMENTX 'enable relative mouse movement reads
PRINT
DO
x& = _DEVICEINPUT 'determines which device is currently being used
IF x& = 1 THEN
PRINT "Keyboard: ";
FOR b = 1 TO _LASTBUTTON(x&)
bb = _BUTTONCHANGE(b)
IF bb THEN PRINT b; bb; _BUTTON(b);
NEXT
PRINT
END IF
IF x& > 1 THEN ' skip keyboard reads
PRINT "Device:"; x&;
FOR b = 1 TO _LASTBUTTON(x&)
PRINT _BUTTONCHANGE(b); _BUTTON(b);
NEXT
FOR a = 1 TO _LASTAXIS(x&)
PRINT _AXIS(a); 'mouse axis returns -1 to 1 with 0 center screen
NEXT
FOR w = 1 TO _LASTWHEEL(x&)
PRINT _WHEEL(w); 'wheels 1 and 2 of mouse return relative pixel moves when enabled
NEXT
PRINT
END IF
LOOP UNTIL INKEY$ = CHR$(27) 'escape key exit

I found a library called:
' GX - A BASIC Game Engine for QB64
' 2021 boxgaming - https://github.com/boxgaming/gx
that had mapped all the _BUTTON vales to keys in a file called gx.bi. I used that as a basis to create the code below if anyone needs the _BUTTON values for the keyboard.

From what I recall, QB64's button values are currently the same as the console/CINP/INP values.
https://qb64phoenix.com/qb64wiki/index.php/Scancodes -- are those not the values you get?
RE: _BUTTON - SMcNeill - 04-03-2023
(The page you referenced, I think, refers back to the ooooold SDL codes for _DEVICES. It's drastically out of date, if I'm right.)

No, some of the codes match but many do not.
RE: _BUTTON - TerryRitchie - 04-03-2023
I just went through every key to double check the values I have are returned by _BUTTON.
They all match the code I posted above.
However, the PAUSE key is not being registered? In the code I found it's listed as a value of 70 but I get nothing when pressed.
Oh, and my keyboard does not have a Windows Menu button so I was unable to test that one.
RE: _BUTTON - RhoSigma - 04-03-2023
I've just updated the https://qb64phoenix.com/qb64wiki/index.php/Controller_Devices page with the most recent info I could find in the old wikis, could you check if the values match now

Yes, that was an interesting exercise. I wanted to have generic and consistent device detection and input mapping across different types of game device inputs (gamepad, keyboard, mouse) using _DEVICEINPUT. I also found that _DEVICEINPUT didn't work for keyboard button state on macos so GX has a fallback for that OS to use _keydown.

Yes, I looked each one over and the values are the same as what I found. Thank you for updating that chart.

That information was very helpful. Thank you.
