Key Down within Filled Region?

[d-soldier]

So I had a small filled region over my spite "control panel" which activates a lift... thought everything was fine because when my player stood there (where the invisible filled region was) and pressed "e" the lift would activate (activation event from the filled region on "keydown" to the lift)... sure enough, turns out that the lift activates anytime I press "e" from anywhere on the map. So how can I set it up to send ythe activation event only when the player is within the filled region?

easy non-coding way would be to have an actor created when you step onto (collision) the lift and destroyed when you step off. On this new actor you could have the e button event.

Genius! I was so fixated on the filled region it didnt even occur to me to use a non-drawn actor....

another way to make it whotout the need of creating destroying the actor would be:

Collision repeated on the filled region
char*key=GetKeyState();
if(key[KEY_E]==1)
{
//lifting action here
}[code][/code]

the only reason I know is because I looked at the xml function list,
and because I kept on doing the wrong thing! xD
