Sets a keys state to false

keyboard_key_press(key)

Returns: void

This function will set a key to a state of false. This allows the user to have the same functions happen when a user would normally release a key. For instance, releasing the W button may make a character fall, but the programmer may want to release W or Space to make him fall. The user could then make it that when the spacebar is released the keyboard release W event is triggered.

if (keyboard_check_released(Keys.Esc))
{
 room_restart();
}
if (keyboard_check_released(Keys.R))
{
 keyboard_key_release(Keys.Esc)
}

This code will restart the game room when the user releases the Esc key as well as when the user releases the R key.
