Wait some ticks

Hello folks!

I'm needing a part of code to make this happen:

condition > Press UP while Wall sliding pose and wait 1 second > do the jumping pose;

And in the system have a feature to work with time, but I mean that's a global time, what I wouldn't not reset it everytime the wallslide pose happen.

So, I can make a variable count, using every tick, increasing his size bigger than 60, then it check as 1 sec?

Doing this way I wanna be certain of how much times "every tick" update by second?

The sample is here:

If the main thing is to count to one second the easiest way would be to Always add dt (this is a system variable name) to your global var and when it's equal or greater than 1 a second has passed.

dt is the time that has passed between ticks. So in theory if your game runs at 60fps it's going to be: 1/60 = 0.016666, thus on first tick it's the same, then your global variable becomes 0.033, then 0.05, etc. up to 1.

Have you read the tutorial about the wait action ?

I couldn't understand much but if i understood correctly all you need is instead of using

System >every tick use

System > every X seconds and set X to 1

Edited: After brainstorming about it, the challenge was defeated =P

Somebody, I used another way, but is really nice to see this variable, I'm hopping to have more variables in the help file to learn about. Thanks!

Kyatric, thanks, your tutorial really helped =)

renegade, yes, mixing with your tip it worked.

Click on the sample link, now it's working right with a clear code =P
