How do I turn the gamepad-analog stick into a triggered event?

How do I turn the gamepad-analog stick on y-axis >0 into a triggered event, so that it only alters the variable once if true.

In the main menu I want to change a variable value (menu selection) by using the analog stick on a gamepad.

Problem right now: when analog stick is down or up, the variable does not get triggered once, but every tick.

The problem I have is that the analoge stick condition depends on if the y-orientation is in a certain value. This results in a on/off condition for multiple ticks.

I do not have this problem with keyboard as input, because I can select "on pressed", which is a triggered condition.

What is a good simple practise to implement my own on trigger mechanism?

Should I make a local "trigger" variable that switches on if the analog stick moves up or down? (the trigger will then prevent the condition to run several ticks)

Hi. if I understood the problem correctly,

Thank you.

If I do the following, the condition is not met.

And I do not understand why.

try to change the order to this one

Thank you, this works.
