how to detect key input

[billthecreator]

im creating a typing game... and im afraid i dont know how to detect key input when its not the one im looking for.

lets say i have "J" up, and you're supposed to press "J", the _IsPressed() for "J" is "4A". i have it so when its clicked, points are added.

how would i have it so, if any other keys are hit, a function is done.

i had it so the if/then _ispressed statement is called, the else of subtracting points would not work when only keys are pressed, it would work on an infinite loop.

heres some code...
