= button not working

[j2graves]

my vista laptop won't let me use the = button. WHAT DO I DO?!

[feral]

first try numlock,scrolllock etc and the laptops manual... I know that is silly and obvious, but some laptops are very tricky with their numpad emulation and may require a key combo to configure the equal key (how many other key icons are on the equal key that it may be also set to ?)

secondly try to see what the equals key is currently telling the game it is currently set to ..

create a text actor and in draw use this code

Code: Select all

int keyCode = getLastKey(); //get the last key pressed.
strcpy(text, getKeyText(keyCode)); //get the key text (getKeyText) and copy it (strcpy) to .text

it will output the key names to the screen and hopefully tell you what your laptop thinks the = key is mapped to.. this may give you an idea

I assume the problem is when you are editing scripts ?
