Thanks for being patient with me. I'm a bit new to using Construct and got pretty far with the Virtual Pet so far.
"You need to set the variable to (time+5), which means the current time +5 seconds."
So in the global variable I named "Ignoretouch" (see previous screen shot) I did enter +5 and it defaulted to 5 so you're saying if I understand you to input instead of "+5" (time+5) in parenthesis?
And then you add this condition to all "On touch" and "On tap" events:
IgnoreTouch<time
Again thanks for your help and being patient with me.
I'm learning. >:)
