I use external controls but mouse and keyboard still give actions.

[ChelaruViorel]

Hi,
I use the C API, headless, and I set this :
if (env_c_api.setting(context, "controls", "external") != 0) {
sys_error("Failed to apply 'controls' setting.");
}

I give some actions using env_c_api.act(context, discr_actions, cont_actions);...just for tests.....I look right and start moving backwards....nothing fancy.

But if I move the mouse and press the arrows on the keyboard, they still give actions.
How do I cancel the keyboard and mouse, while I give the actions programmatically though the C API ?

Thanks,
Viorel

I think this is a badly named setting. (And why it is not documented.) Don't set it or set it to false to prevent keyboard and mouse from being read.

I didn't set it and does the same. I don't know what are other values of controls except internal and external....so how do I set it to false ?

I'm sorry, I was replying from memory. What you were doing is correct. I can now see that this is a bug and the mouse movements are still making there way through to the game. I'll put together a fix.

Maybe this is related to #44 ?

I can confirm that my mouse (though not keyboard it seems) are having a serious effect.
