I'm working on an Irrlicht - Lua based program, and seem to have run into a stumbling block - detecting keypresses.

I cut out
<BLOCKQUOTE><table width=80% border=0 bgcolor="#FFFFF" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2"><TR><TD><font size="3" face="Courier" color="#000000"><pre>
MyEventReceiver = {}

function MyEventReceiver:OnEvent(Event)
if Event.EventType == irr.EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT then
return self:OnKeyEvent(Event.KeyInput.Key, Event.KeyInput.PressedDown, Event.KeyInput.Control, Event.KeyInput.Shift)
end
return false
end

function MyEventReceiver:OnKeyEvent(Key, PressedDown, Shift, Control)

if not PressedDown then

if Key == irr.KEY_KEY_W then
imp1_y = imp1_y + 1
return true
end

if Key == irr.KEY_KEY_S then
imp1_y = imp1_y - 1
return true
end

end

return false
end
</pre></font></TD></TR></TABLE></BLOCKQUOTE>

that from one of the example programs to use - but imp_y doesn't seem to be changed when I press W or S.

Ahh - never mind. I figured it out - wasn't setting the event receiver.

I'll resurrect the forum thread see if they have any updates for us.

I think I see where the problem is.
But - the 3D examples in IrrLua run at a much better framerate(like around 58FPS for the terrain render demo) - so I guess it's just a problem with the 2D functions or something.
