So I'm trying, using direct input, to have some keys work only while a command key is pressed. For instance, while the [+] key is depressed, you can press 1-4, and when [+] is released, the number key you pressed is "engaged". I'm assuming i'd do this easily by maintaining a flag to indicate whether the master key is pressed? is this the easiest way?
Would you not just check if what you're calling the "master" key is pressed, and if so, then also check if [1]-[4] are pressed? I'm not sure I understand this question.
But, the game can't pause while im waiting for the secondary key or a release. So i have to be able to check keys and move on if secondary not pressed
You'd want to use a loop, though, since that only detects if they're pressed at the exact same time.
Code:
Code:
while (key1) {
switch (key) {
case key2:
do stuff
case key3:
do stuff
//and so on
}
}
(say it out loud)

@M.I. Wright, looping freezes the program until i release that key which is not the behavior i want. Ivoah's solution would be preferable. Thanks guys!

[That's what he wants, also, he said that it can't pause while waiting for the other key, which is exactly what my pseudocode does.
