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.
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
