Mouse button down?

Hi guys,

I've discovered the option of when the user has the mouse button down, but not sure how to count how long it's held. Like a powerup feature. I tried adding Wait but that didn't seem to work.

Thanks heaps!

You could create a global variable MouseButtonDown

System every x seconds

-system add x to MouseButtonDown

That way you would now precisely how many seconds the button was down.

An alternative could be to use a global variable MouseButtonTimeDown:

Condition:

Mouse Button is down

Trigger once while true

Action:

MouseButtonTimeDown = time

Then have another condition checking for MouseButtonTimeDown > whatever cutoff time you want for subsequent actions.

Check my subject.

I had the same problem but with space key.

I let a time of 0.2 s cause of maniac shooter style game.

I hope it could help you!
