SFML pollEvent is making pauses when I continuesly press Keys
Apparently my pollEvent is making some little pause when I continuously press a Key,
For example if a press and don't release a Key, it's calling the press event, BUT THEN is making a little pause of 0.5sec and only after that starts to call continuously the press Event
So simply put, if I just press a Key and don't release it, it gives me an output like that:
press A
pause
press A
press A
press A
press A
. . .
It's kinda problematic for my game.
my pollEvent loop:
std::map<_KEYS, bool> Display::checkEvents()
{
resetEvents();
while (_Window.pollEvent(_Event))
{
if (_Event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
quit();
if (_Event.type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) {
if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Up)) {
puts("key up pressed");
_Events.at(_KEY_UP) = true;
}
if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Down)) {
puts("key down pressed");
_Events.at(_KEY_DOWN) = true;
}
if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Left)) {
puts("key left pressed");
_Events.at(_KEY_LEFT ) = true;
}
if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Right)) {
puts("key right pressed");
_Events.at(_KEY_RIGHT) = true;
}
}
return (_Events);
}
Any idea why ? or how I can resolve this problem ?
PS: don't mind my Event map, I think it's really far from being related with the pauses

Writing to the console takes ages. Maybe thoseputs()
calls could be causing it?

I don't really think, because even if it's takes ages, why does it make a pause only after the first press and then it's smooth? And anyway I put those prints in order to know what were happening, because there was already that pause before them

That is entirely normal. It's how the OS treat the input. To test, open notepad, type press 'A', and you'll observe the same behavior.

actually I solved it while reading the sfml documentation, for the lazy people, voila :
std::map<_KEYS, bool> Display::checkEvents()
{
resetEvents();
while (_Window.pollEvent(_Event))
{
if (_Event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
quit();
}
if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Up)) {
puts("key up pressed");
_Events.at(_KEY_UP) = true;
}
if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Down)) {
puts("key down pressed");
_Events.at(_KEY_DOWN) = true;
}
if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Left)) {
puts("key left pressed");
_Events.at(_KEY_LEFT ) = true;
}
if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Right)) {
puts("key right pressed");
_Events.at(_KEY_RIGHT) = true;
return (_Events);
}
you need to check the real time input and not the sfml pollEvent's Pool, so check your events outside the pollEvent's While
Thank you for the comments anyway :)
