Hello,

I am working on a Trivia game and currently when you press the correct/incorrect answer It will display a graphic, add points, remove HP from player or enemy and then load the next question.

Well during that 5 seconds or so the player can continue to click on the answer boxes so I just wanted to turn touch off for that amount of time.

I thought it would be easy and set it to disable touch when the "Correct/Incorrect" object appears(I have this set to go over all the answer options) that touch could be turned off.

so I tried doing If Obj_Answer_Result Opacity = 100 then Touch = disabled but all touch offers when doing this or comparing to a variable it "Set Permission."

Any one have a suggestion?

Thanks,

Rich

Well.. you can use a boolean and compare on each toucheable item if its true or false.

So, when you need, turn it to false and after to true again.

Hey!

It would look like this.

The variable touchEnabled controls when touches are active. If it's 1, touchs work, else, they don't.

You must add this condition (if touchEnabled = 1) to all touch actions. When you want to disable touch set touchEnabled to 0 and back to 1 when it's supposed to work again.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Are you using C3 or C2?

If C2 just go as brunopalermo said..

If C3, just create a variable as boolean.

And on each touch control compare if: is true

Brilliant...worked great! Thanks folks. I actually just bought CS3 for the export functions so I might end up moving to CS3 but undecided since I know everything is working in CS3.

thanks!
