Control X question...

[mobichan]

I have finished making a Key Config screen by using Global Strings to store the various keyboard keys and I am saving them out to an ini++ file. My code for each line of my config screen is as follows:

(Control:Key (Global String "SHOT") is pressed
+"Press Any Key" AO is invisible
-->Play sample
-->"Press Any Key" AO reappear

(Control: Any key is down
+"Press Any Key" AO is visible
-->Set (Global String "SHOT") to LastKeyPressed$ (Control
-->Make "Press Any Key" AO invisible

Since I initiate the ability to change the key using the SHOT key, I am running into a problem. When I press SHOT (default is the Z key)to change any key (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, SHIELD, etc...) it works perfectly. But when I try to change the SHOT key, my code doesn't work. Well, I hear the sound sample in my code play, but the message "Press Any Key" doesn't appear. If I delete the second line of code up there, the "Press Any Key" appears.

I think this might have to do with trying to change a Global String which is being polled by the previous line of code. Can anyone think of a reason this would be happening and a possible solution?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks Snail! Adding a flag to just that particular set of events (involving the SHOT key) solved the problem. Now I can release my game with key config.
