Hollywood forums

My software (ArtBase) uses MUI-Royale.
At some points I use IsKeyDown() to check, if the qualifier "LSHIFT" is pressed.
Since Hollywood V6 this doesnt work anymore.
Normal keys (letters) are checked correctly by IsKeyDown(), but hitting qualifiers only, will not be recogniced anymore.

As an example script I used your Example Class1.hws
I replaced:
repeat
WaitEvent()
forever

with:
Repeat
if iskeydown("LSHIFT")=TRUE then nprint ("LSHIFT")
if iskeydown("a")=TRUE then nprint ("a")
wait(50)
forever

This worked correctly under Hollywood V5.3 (at least in my program...)

A bug???

This is because of some major changes in Hollywood 6.0's display handler. It needs to be fixed in MUI Royale, not in Hollywood. In the next update of MUI Royale this will work correctly again.

yes i too wondered what was going on here

Is there already a releasedate for that update???

Best regards

No, but it shouldn't take that long...
