Pullevent help

local linked = ""
local current = ""

paintutils.drawFilledBox(1,1,100,100,colors.blue)
term.setCursorPos(3,3)

while true do
term.setCursorPos(3,3)
print(current)
local event, key = os.pullEvent( "key" )
if key == "keys.1" then
current = current..1
end
end

I am trying to test when I hit the number 1 and print it, whenever i hit 1 with this code it doesn't print 1, any idea why? (all of this is soon to be bigger code, ignore other stuff not in the while loop)

change "keys.1" to keys.one

Key events return numbers. The keys API contains most of numbers according to the "name" of the key (eg. keys.a). keys.one is actually the number 2.


For a full list of the keys accessible from the keys API, go here

For an image of the keys and their respective numbers, go here.

Since you want a number input, I would consider using both 2 and 79, so that the numpad can be used (see the picture I linked).
