Wired Keyboard

From GMod Wiki

Wiremod Tool

Back

Function:	Almost full 101-key keyboard interface for use with WireMod
Primary fire:	Spawns a keyboard
Secondary fire:	None
Reload:	No action
Notes:	Hi-speed interface: Reading from cell 0 will return the number of keys queued in the buffer. The actual keys' ASCII codes can be read from cell 1 to 31. Writing to cell 0 (and possibly other cells?) will remove the first key from the buffer. Also, you can read cells 32 to 287 to see if a key is pressed right now. Eg: '0' has the ASCII code 48. We can read cell 80 (48+32) to get a 1 if 0 is currently pressed, or a 0 if it isn't currently pressed.
