onKeyDown script help (Resolved)

[IGD Big Steve 0]

I have been trying to get this script to work for a while now. I am trying to make a keypress (ideally "O", key# 39 I think), that will call a script to toggle between different "fadesound" commands on a DEDICATED server. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just the basics. There's 100% an error in my logic and any help would be appreciated. 

 

// line in initServer.sqf
earplugDisplayHandle = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", [] remoteExec ["dokeyPress_fnc", _this select 0]]; 

 

//fnc in initPlayerLocal.sqf

dokeyPress_fnc = {
	switch (_this) do {
              //key
		case 39: {
			nul = [] execVM "earplugs.sqf";
		};
	};
};

 

//earplugs.sqf

_plugNum = 0;

if (_plugNum ==  0) then {
1 fadeSound 1;
hint format["earplugs removed"];
_plugNum = _plugNum + 1};


if (_plugNum ==  1) then {
1 fadeSound 0.5;
hint format["earplugs 50%"];
_plugNum = _plugNum + 1};


if (_plugNum ==  2) then {
1 fadeSound 0.2;
hint format["earplugs 80%"];
_plugNum = 0};

First of all, there is no reason to do that from server. Your EH "keydown"  is fine for local PC, then all clients (+ hosted if not dedicated)

So, this EH should be in initPlayerLocal.sqf with your function.

 

Try that:

 

togglingKEY18 = 0;
(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {
    params ["_displayorcontrol", "_key", "_shift", "_ctrl", "_alt"];
    if (_key == 24) then {
        switch (togglingKEY18) do {
            case 0 : {
                hint "earplugs removed";
                1 fadeSound 1;
            };
            case 1 : {
                hint "earplugs 50%";
                1 fadeSound 0.5;
            };
            case 2 : {
                hint "earplugs 80%";
                1 fadeSound 0.2;
            };
        };
    togglingKEY18 = (togglingKEY18 + 1) mod 3;
    };
    false
 }];

I tried this with mild success. The script is constantly hinting the pressed key. I removed all my old scripts and I believe I still need the top line in initServer to have it function correctly.

Works now with some modifications. Thanks a ton! The script must be inside initPlayerLocal.sqf and run before any execVM scripts/functions for some reason.
