Cant rotate with pointer while input keyboard other than cursors

Phaser 3
1

Hi there.

i’m struggly with the input manager and the options to have custom keys and also use the pointer to rotate my player…

if i use “createCursorKeys” i also can use the pointer position to rotate my player while moving.
if i use “addKeys” i cant rotate as long as my key is down…

I tried the “enableCapture” option but this dosnt help…

here is a fiddle to test it:
Phaser 3 Fiddle for moving and rotating

if u uncomment line 52 (//cursors = this.input.keyboard.addKeys(‘W,A,S,D’):wink: u can use wasd for moving, but u will lose rotation while moving…

how can i get both at the same time working :slight_smile:

Thx!

Ok, i’ve just tested it on a other maschine and it works for me too… So it seems to be related to my laptop and touchpad :frowning:
All this researching and lost time… only because of this hardware issue ^^

Thx for testing and feedback!

Laptops will often disable the touchpad while you’re typing (or well, pressing letter keys in general). Check your OS settings, there might be a way to turn that off.
