Keyboard Controls and Simulation stopping
-
Hello,
Maybe i'm missing something, but there are 100's of great simulations out there using sketchy physics with keyboard controls. The problem I am having is that when I try to use most of them, the simulation stops when I press certain keys.
For example, I'll run a tank simulation, and it will run just fine using the W key, but when I hit the M key, the Move tool gets selected and the simulation stops. Same with the L key which activates the Line tool.
I know lots of people are using these keys and they wouldn't be using these keys if it always did this...so, I guess the question is, how do I stop the simulation from stopping when I press a key like, L,A,R,C or really any Key that is a sketchup shortcut key.
I'm using a Windows XP system with sketchup 7.1, and sketchyphysics 3
Thanks everyone!

Hello!
There is two ways to get it work with keyboard.Simple:
When you start the simulation there popup a window "SkechyPhysics Control Panel".
Click on that so its active, then the keys will work.Less simple:
Change the shortcuts to the tools.
Click on: "Window" - "Preferences" - then "Shortcuts".
Then change the shortcuts to whatever you want (or just delete them), tip!, add "ctrl" or/and "shift" key to the letter, then there is the same letter but you need to press "Ctrl" or "Shift" down at the same time.Just type in the tool-name ;that you want to change shortcut to; in the "Filter" box.
Ex. of standard shortcuts:
Q - Rotate
E - Erase
R - Rectangle
A - Arc
S - Scale
L - Line
C - CircleHope this work (I know it do
)
And have fun with SP.

/hpnisseI did the same thing, and it works.
