I am trying to create something so when the key Number Pad 9 is hit red light will be added to the player models.

if(GetAsyncKeyState(0x69)){
	f_pDirect3DDevice->SetLight( 0, &Light );
	f_pDirect3DDevice->LightEnable( 0, true );
}

The light shows fine on the player as long as I hold down the key. How would I make it so that I would not have to hold down the key to get the right light to stay on?

Do this:

// global or class declaration
BOOL g_bKeypad9Pressed = FALSE;

// Somewhere in initializing code
f_pDirect3DDevice->SetLight( 0, &Light );

void YourGameLoop(void)
{
    if(GetAsyncKeyState(0x69))
     {
         // Toggle pressed state
         g_bKeypad9Pressed = !g_bKeypad9Pressed;
         f_pDirect3DDevice->LightEnable( 0, g_bKeypad9Pressed );
     }
}

Thanks for the reply but it still will only stay on if I hold down the key.

Edit:

Fix it by putting


	if(g_bKP9P){
		f_pDirect3DDevice->SetLight( 0, &Light );
		f_pDirect3DDevice->LightEnable( 0, true );
	}

In the SetLight function.
