[hlcoders] bug on laptops
Hi, I have a bug that I had originally in my mod, but have noticed I
also have it in CS:S. Not sure if it is just my configuration, or an
actual bug. Could somebody with a laptop or access to a laptop (valve?)
please try to recreate this.
If I go into observer mode, say in CS:S, I can press the duck key (for
me 'C') but could be anything, to open the bottom menu where I can chose
who to spectate etc. Usually you then press the duck key again to close
the bottom menu. For me, in my mod, pressing the duck key after the
menu is open returns a key code of CODE_KEYPAD_3 or similar (can't
remember the exact one). It is the numeric keypad number 3, or on my
laptop the Fn L key.
So, if I actually press the numeric 3 key instead of the duck key, it
closes the menu, whereas pressing duck does nothing.
So, duck opens it but does not close it, and numeric keypad 3 closes it
but does not open it. For some reason having the bottom menu open
causes the duck key to return something different. I am using
gameuifuncs->GetVGUI2KeyCodeforBind("duck); to get the code.
Can someone else with a laptop try this for me to see if it is just my
config?

It sounds as if something on your laptop is going into "numeric input
mode" and mapping the Z,X,C, A,S,D, Q,W,E keys as numeric key pad keys
1,2,3, 4,5,6, 7,8,9. Does your laptop have a function key that converts
the leftmost 9 keyboard keys to numeric keypad emulation? Perhaps when
the observer panel is opening something is causing the emulation mode to
be entered.

RE: [hlcoders] bug on laptops
A fix for this will be released with the next engine update. I'll send
code snippets then as well so you can fix any other bindings you're
trying to hook in your mod.

RE: [hlcoders] bug on laptops
Sounds to me like the FN got enabled. Or somehow the NUM LOCK got
enabled.
