UI Extensions

This is a c++ engine module for the Pandemonium engine, containing smaller utilities.

TouchButton

A Control based button, that handles multitouch properly.

BSInputEventKey

An inputEventKey implementation, that matches actions exactly.

For example with the default pandemonium implementation if you have an action that gets triggered with the key E then Ctrl-E will also trigger it.

This has the side effect, that if you bind an action to E, and an another one to Ctrl-E, then hitting Ctrl-E will trigger both.

This implementation changes that behaviour.

However, you do need to replace normal input events at startup like this:

func _ready():
	var actions : Array = InputMap.get_actions()

	for action in actions:
		var acts : Array = InputMap.get_action_list(action)

		for i in range(len(acts)):
			var a = acts[i]
			if a is InputEventKey:
				var nie : BSInputEventKey = BSInputEventKey.new()
				nie.from_input_event_key(a as InputEventKey)
				acts[i] = nie

				InputMap.action_erase_event(action, a)
				InputMap.action_add_event(action, nie)

I recommend putting this code into a singleton.
