  • I have this.

    These two are identical, but one is mouse down.

    What I want it to do is let individual clicks pass, but also let pressing down mousebutton work, after a tiny while, long enough for the user to presumtive click and release mouse button for individual input? (or a tiny bit longer)

    With having both events going on, the mousedown of course kicks in at once.

    I hope I am able to explain what I want.

    For context: it is to adjust a number in gui. Pressing down button will spam and do it uncontrollable way, while single clicks is tedious if you want to adjust from let's say 0 to 60.

    Here's a pic to show what I mean.

    Thank you!!

  • Looks like the second pix fell away. Wasn't able to add it back in.

  • You could do a timer with a variable. Something like this. It adds 1 when you click but makes a timer 0.2 sec later. After that it will add 1 quickly. There’s probably a more refined way. Basically you could just have a timer count how long the mouse button is down. 

    On sprite click
— add one to value
— set sprite timer to time+0.2

Left mouse is down
Mouse over sprite
Sprite timer >time
— add 1 to value

  • I managed to get what you meant now!

    At first I was so confused, and I had to reinpret it a bit.

    On the time I had to add a boolean to be true, and then add that boolean in the spam version.

    And mouse click end = setting boolean false.

    Hopefully it will work now!
