pressKey/releaseKey/holdKey functions?

[holic 198]

Hey all,

I've been going through the javadocs tirelessly trying to find any sort of pressKey or holdKey type functions with no luck.

I know not everything DreamBot is in the docs (like setDrawMouse) so I thought I'd ask about it.

If there isn't a method with the current API, is there something along the lines of this that I could do instead?

(new KeyboardEvent(getClient().getInstance(), "", false)).pressSpecialKey(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);

 

I want to be able to hold control and click at the same time to sprint.

You may be able to use something similar to this, though I haven't been able to test it.

Instance instance = getClient().getInstance();
Canvas canvas = instance.getCanvas();
Inventory inventory = getInventory();

instance.setKeyboardInputEnabled(true);
mouse.getMouseSettings();
canvas.dispatchEvent(new KeyEvent(canvas, KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, System.currentTimeMillis(), 0, KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL, KeyEvent.CHAR_UNDEFINED));
	//code
canvas.dispatchEvent(new KeyEvent(canvas, KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED, System.currentTimeMillis(), 0, KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL, KeyEvent.CHAR_UNDEFINED));
instance.setKeyboardInputEnabled(false);

Thanks StonedFarmer, that gives me a good starting point. I'll report back if I figure out a working method.
