How do I dissable fast touches?

Hi Scirra people!

Im having a problem in my game, when the player is touching objects to fast.

Is there a way to dissable the touch object if it gets abused? ie when a player touches the objects in the game too fast.

Any help would be apreciated!

Maybe only allow Touch when a variable is equal to 0.

So on each Touch you set the variable to 1 and start a timer (e.g. for 0.5 seconds) and when the timer finishes set the variable back to 0 allowing Touch again.

That way the player can only Touch every half second.

Something like:

Touch->Is touching object
System->Compare TouchVariable = 0
   Do touch action
   System->Set TouchVariable = 1

System->Compare TouchVariable = 1
   System->Wait 0.5 seconds
   System->Set TouchVariable = 0

Good idea, thanks for it.. I should have thought of that!

Thanks!

i tried it, but it didnt really work with my setup, because i use a picking sensor system.

Any other ideas out there?
