How to check if a key is pressed using memory address?

I found this but don't understand. How do I check if F6 is pressed?

CODE

:LABEL wait 0 0A8D: 0@ = read_memory 0x00969110 size 4 virtual_protect 0 if 04A4:   0@ == 0x434F4445 // Hex String 'CODE' jf @LABEL 0A8C: write_memory 0x00969110 size 4 value 0 virtual_protect 0 // Clear buffer

0x969110 is the cheat pool, is where the cheat string is located (Is used to check if a cheat was typed)
So 0x969110 method only works with characteres that goes to Cheat string (A-Z,1-9, that basic)

Why just don't use the CLEO 0AB0 for check F6?

anyway CLEO 0AB0 opcode uses the windows func (SHORT __stdcall GetKeyState(int nVirtKey)) at 0x0081E64C in 1.0US

there are many way of doing that, one of them is to read only one byte of it, & check if it is equals to 117 CODE :0 wait 0 0A8D: 0@ = read_memory 0x969110 size 1 virtual_protect 0 if 0@ == 117 jf @0 0A8C: write_memory 0x969110 size 4 value 0 virtual_protect 0 jump @0 i will work only if the last key pressed was F6, you may add 1 to mem add for previous key check,

Cheat string only stores ASCII Characteres for checking cheats, not virtual keys like F6.

I'm modding the main.scm so I can't use cleo opcodes. I need to find a way to use F6 as a keypress.

[Ashwin the new boy]

cleo opcodes are not only for cleo scripts,
once you installed cleo mod, you can use them in main.scm also,

[HeresOtis]

But I don't want to use it for my mod. I want it to be CLEO-independent.

[Ashwin the new boy]

this may be difficult then,

I found this posted by Seeman. It's easy and works perfect.
