Issue
I have a player that can move when pressing the arrow keys. I would like to prevent the user to press multiple arrows at the same time. This what I have tried:
boolean[] pressedKeys = new boolean[4];
canvas.setOnKeyPressed(event -> {
if (!Arrays.asList(pressedKeys).contains(true)){
if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.UP){
pressedKeys[0] = true;
} else if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.RIGHT){
pressedKeys[1] = true;
} else if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.DOWN){
pressedKeys[2] = true;
} else if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.LEFT){
pressedKeys[3] = true;
}
}
});
canvas.setOnKeyReleased(event -> {
if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.UP){
pressedKeys[0] = false;
} else if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.RIGHT){
pressedKeys[1] = false;
} else if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.DOWN){
pressedKeys[2] = false;
} else if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.LEFT){
pressedKeys[3] = false;
}
});
But it does not work, here I can still press the right and the up arrows for example. Thanks for any help
Solution
I found a solution, thanks to @kleopatra
This is what I made:
boolean pressedKeys = false, releasedKeys = true;
canvas.setOnKeyPressed(event -> {
if (releasedKeys){
// Code goes here
pressedKeys = true;
releasedKeys = false;
}
});
canvas.setOnKeyReleased(event -> {
if (pressedKeys){
pressedKeys = false;
releasedKeys = true;
}
});
Like this, its not possible to press multiple keys at one time
