Complicated keydown question

[gu1d0m4n]

Hey, I'm making and RPG for my programming class(I'm in highschool) and I have come across a problem. When you press a key to start walking right, I want it to start walking at full speed, but instead, it moves one space, then pauses, then starts moving at full speed. Does any one know how to fix this prob?
If you do, please respond.

Danke.

Post your keydown code, and any relevent code.

What you need to do is use the GetAsyncKeyState API instead of the internal KeyDown event that VB gives you. Do this in a Do... Loop basis and it will work out fine. If you're using a Timer already to do your movement, then put it in that and you're all set. KeyDown has its own quirks...

You can find out about GetAsyncKeyState at http://www.allapi.net/ and maybe by a search here at VBForums.
