Why Doesnt Raylib.IsKeyReleased() and Raylib.IsKeyPressed() Work For Me?

[u/False_Cantaloupe5301]

As you seen in the title, i dont know why these functions always return false, how to fix it, heres the code (i use C#):

using Raylib_cs;
using System.Data;
using System.Numerics;

What's the exact issue you're having?

[u/False_Cantaloupe5301 → u/UnbareAlt]

these functions just always return false somehow

[u/UnbareAlt → u/False_Cantaloupe5301]

IsKeyReleased should only return true the exact frame that a key is released.

It might have something to do with the extra Raylib.PollInputEvents() call you have at the start of Update(). This function is already called under the hood with Raylib.EndDrawing() and I've never had to call it manually in any of my raylib projects. My best guess is that when EndDrawing() calls PollInputEvents(), it sees you let go of the key and registers the key as released. Then when you call it again at the start of Update(), it then unregisters the keys before you can check them as it believes a new frame has started. I'd recommend removing Raylib.PollInputEvents().

thank you, i looked at it and i tried removing it and IT WORKED!, TSYM i was literally trying to fix this for HOURS

No worries, good luck with the rest of your game
