Another non Aircraft specific Question - Detect a specific Keypress

[Airbuspilot]

Hello,
in my Script, i need to detect the Press of specific Keys and do some Action, if the Key is pressed.
I tried with this one: if ipc.keypressplus(104,8) == 0 then ..........
If detected, that NumPad 8 is pressed and released the Script will send some Instructions to the Plane.
But unfortunately that does'nt work.
Could you please offer a Solution for it? Thanks in Advance, Joachim

ipc.keypressplus( (and ipc.keypress) send keys to the FS, as it says in the documentation. You cannot use those functions to test for a keypress. They also do not return any value.

Use event.key - see the Lua Library documentation in how to use this function.
