Key Binds not working

[IKnowImEZ 0]

So i have this little method,

@SubscribeEvent
    public void livingUpdate(LivingEvent.LivingUpdateEvent event) {
        if (event.getEntity() instanceof EntityPlayerSP) {
            
            if(minecraft.gameSettings.keyBindDrop.isPressed()) {//doesnt work
                System.out.println("Test, droped a item");
            }
            
            if(minecraft.gameSettings.keyBindPlayerList.isPressed()) {//works
                System.out.println("Test, Showed tab gui thing");
            }

}

}

now for some reason player list works but drop doesnt, but if instend if i use isKeyDown it works, but i want it to only update when the key is pressed once, if you get what im saying, not every tick the key is down

Why are you using LivingUpdateEvent and not PlayerUpdateEvent?

lol i guess i used it because thats not a event

Sorry, its TickEvent.PlayerTickEvent

 

Also, as you're using it to check keybinds on the client side, use TickEvent.ClientTickEvent instead.

is there like a event where i can do public void event(someKeyBoardEvent event) {if(event.getKey instanceof KeyBoard.KEY_SOME KEY)}?

There is, but you should not do it that way.

why? he said he wants to respond to a single press. why wouldn't you use key input event? (i never used it myself, so i don't know if it does what i'd expect it to do.)

When using a key binding, it already listens to the key events for you, you then use the tick event to check if your key binding was pressed.

When not using a key binding you indeed need to use InputEvent.KeyInputEvent and use raw LWJGL.
