Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
scancode	In	Int32	required	The SDL scancode of the key, 1 to 511.

Returns: How many times the key was pressed since the last call.

Description

Counts how often a key was pressed since the last time this asked about that same key, asking for the key by its SDL scancode instead of the DirectInput code that KeyHit takes. The count starts again from zero on every call. See Scan Codes for the table.
