| Well, I named my game, so I just made a new topic for it so it is easier to find information about it. |

| Ok, I've found a glitch: when you go through into another route, you'll stop running. |

| Yes, I was thinking of posting that as a known glitch! Apparently game maker loses track of the letter keys that are pressed in between rooms, I do not know how to remedy that as of yet....
edit: just posted
Another edit: Maybe if I directly check the hardware for the key by using keyboard_check_direct it will work? |

| Ah, I see - they're separate rooms. Yes, GM does do this... it carries only walking though, so surely you're still detecting one key press? |
|

| Ok, well here's the dilemma.
keyboard_check_direct does allow the transition between rooms while still running, but offers a few cons:
1)The player will walk even if the game is not the active window.
2)There is a delayed reaction to all keys
So, I don't know which was way was better.
I think I just might make only the run key keyboard_check_direct and everything else keyboard_check |

| I suppose if you used _direct just for running, it would still only run if it was the active window, so that should be fine. Try it. |

| Ok, here's the other dilemma.
Running works between rooms, but there is a delay between pressing it and releasing it.
There is still the glitch where if begin running or walking into a conjoined room only shortly after you start moving, you freeze until you release the keys.
I can fix this by making the arrow keys a direct check, but the movement is delayed by at least 0.3 seconds. I'm sure this will annoy people, especially if you want to turn or stop walking. |

| Ok, give me a few minutes and I'll figure out a way to fix it. |

| Well, why don't you just become my lead programmer :)
Nah joking, but thanks for being helpful. I think I can fix this one up by only performing a direct check as soon as the player aligns to the 16x16 grid, only after he changes rooms. After that is regular checking. |

| Yeah. that would probably be best - for the first step in the room. |

| *sighs* well it didn't work, all I got out of that check is the player not being able to run while walking, and standing in the running position while standing still and holding 'x'.
Things work better in theory than in practice :( |

| I'm sure it would work...
Have a variable called "run" which is set to true if keyboard_check or keyboard_check_direct pick up X being pressed, and set to false if it is released. Then, make him run when the variable is true. |
