On mouse click, 3 times?

I am trying to make a game that compares if the player are doing what the player suppose to do, by doing that, when ever the player click or touch or press key, it'll increment a variable to 1, then I compare this variable to another as a correct variable number.

eg.

by click on "something" var player = player + 1.

set "answer" var answer = int(andom(3)) // let say the answer is equal to 1.

for every 1 second check

if player == answer

   score = score + 10

   else

       game over

what happen is if I press the right key, it'll increment 1, but if I click on the button I have made on screen, it will increment by 3, I don't have a touch screen so I cannot test that. ( click on object "img")

How do I stop it doing that, it has been a big bug for me.

the image button I've made has a on state(animation with 1 extra frame). I did try to turn if off, nothing changes

If you provide your .capx then I could try to help you!

Did you use the "click" action? How about detecting using on "key up" instead?

Sounds like Construct2's click implementation detects both key down + key up, and hence the reason for the multiple clicks. Is that true Ashley? I've never ran into this problem, but I think using on key up will solve the problem.

vervo

Did you use the "on touched object" event or the "is touching object" event? There's a large difference between the two.

Im using "key is pressed"

Thanks, I realised I set it as "is touching object, now change to on touched object"

now it increment twice than 3 times.
