Bits

'bits' is a bitfield indicating which buttons the player is pressing. A particular button press can be checked by using ifvarand with the values listed at the end of this article.

INPUT_RESERVED will only display "!!! INCORRECT VERSION !!!" message.

Weapons

This technique does not work properly with the weapon selection keys, however. They share four bits in the second-to-lowest byte, which represent the number of the corresponding weapon. They can be decoded as follows:

getinput[THISACTOR].bits temp
shiftvarr temp 8
andvar temp 0xF
switch temp
    case 1
        //"1" pressed
        break
    case 2
        //"2" pressed
        break
    //etc.
    case 10
        //"0" pressed
        break
    case 11
        //previous weapon
        break
    case 12
        //next weapon
        break
endswitch
