button with timed response

Hi guys,

i want to make an action move if key is pressed. But i want to set a time during which the key doesn't respond to a repeated pressing. im not sure if its understandable - basicaly i want the action triggered by the button to last 1-2 seconds and in this time i dont want the button to respond when repeatedly pressed. Anyone got an idea?

Thanks!

Yep, I stop spamming by using global variables. In this case, I use a global variable 'Active', which is set to False by default.

When Key is pressed, If 'Active' is False > Set 'Active' to True, Do Action, Wait 2 seconds, Set 'Active' to False. This will only allow key presses when 'Active' is set to false.

If I've understood your needs, this might work:<img src="http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/9086/0u49.jpg" border="0" />

Works for me, at least
