Hi
Anyone else have problems with game maker missing keypresses?
I have added an event for "key press - space" and the only code in the event is "window set state (toggle)". I also added (for debugging) an
audio "beep" event that plays when the key-press event it triggered.
The game starts full screen. I press space, get the beep, and the window minimises - all good.
I then press space again - and nothing happens - no beep, no window maximising.
I then press again & it works - beep & window maximises.
After that, the sequence repeats itself - every alternative key press is not detected, so effectively the space key needs to be double pressed to the get the window state to toggle. I get the same behaviour no matter what key I try to detect.
I only seem to get this issue with the event that toggles the window state; I have a "P" key detected for the pause screen & that works just fine, toggling in & out of the pause menu with no issue.
All very strange.
[EDIT] - Ok, have discovered this works without problem on the PC - it's just the Mac version that exhibits this problem. Sounds like a bug? If anyone has a work-around, that would be appreciated.
Any ideas?
Thanks
