How do I spawn object on keypress at same time as other act.

Hi, all.

I have a problem with this seemingly simple action:

[attachment=0:2rcc2a25][/attachment:2rcc2a25]

One could assume that at the moment of a keypress an object would be created at the coordinates given - either where the object was or where it ends up being. What we get is this:

[attachment=1:2rcc2a25][/attachment:2rcc2a25]

For some reason nothing happens on the first keypress and the following ones always lag behind.

Question: How do I spawn an object on any key pressed OVER the base object and when the key is pressed and not a whole step later?

Make it like this:

Hi,

I think it looks good they way you have it, that the trace is created where the Sprite was when you pressed the button. If you really want it to be created in the new spot a simple way would be to add a wait with 0.05s before the trace is created.

I'll attach an example.

— - that's the ticket! The need to shift the creation action by a tick - I did it in a slightly different way (setting a variable that's checked - so this happens on next tick) and now it works.

alextro's solution would also work I guess, but I have MANY keyboard functions so adding the drawing subroutine to each one would be a bit messy.

About the look - this was a very rough demo capx of the idea, in reality it looks like this:

Thank you both for your time.

could do like so

Thanks, Lordshiva1948, but it already works decently, as the gif above shows. Without the extra overhead of a pin behaviour.

Looks cool what is it? A vehicle builder/configurator?

It's a StuffGEN - look here: to see a slightly earlier version.

Somebody good for you
