keydown||pressed
 

Well, I was wondering if there is a way to check if the player presses a specific button down twice..
How would I do this?

Like if they press up once and then press it again they start running etc

thx

Just check for the key and count to see if it were pressed twice, but you'd need to reset it if they didnt press the key again after a certain amount of time.

How would I check to see if they pressed it twice?

Set a flag the first time and do a statement checking if it's already pressed?

I'm also a bit confused on how to check after a period of time, would I use a timeout throughout the script?

This probably isnt the best way...but...

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created || initialized) { // Main block

  setstring this.key,a; // Key that can be hit twice [needs different script for arrow keys]

  this.time = .3; // Time before the pressed thing expires.

  timeout = .05; // Start our loop!

}

if (timeout) { // Self explanitory...

  timeout = .05; // Timeout loop

  if (this.presstime > 0) { // See how long since you pressed the key

     this.presstime -= .05; // Take time out of the variable

  } else {

     this.presstime = 0; // Make sure we dont have negative time

     if (this.pressnumber > 0) this.pressnumber = 0; // Timed out

  }

  if (keydown2(keycode(#s(this.key)),true)) { // Check if our key is pressed

    if (this.keydown == false) { // Only work if the key is not held down

      this.keydown = true; // Tell the script the key is held down

      if (this.pressnumber == 0) { // Do stuff if number is this blah blah

        this.pressnumber = 1; // set the pressed index to 1

        this.presstime = this.time; // Time before key pressed resets

      } else {

         this.pressnumber=0; // Reset press index

         this.presstime = 0; // Reset press time

         doactions(); // Output

       }

    }

  } else {

     this.keydown = false; // Say its not being held down anymore

  }

}

function doactions() { // Code for what happens when you hit a key twice.

  setplayerprop #c,I hit a key twice! I'm a genious!; // omg kid, you rock!

}

Heres something I thought might help...I don't know if this works, I didn't test it.

Edit:
Tested it and fixed bugs.

Ah!, thanks for the definitions too, you've really helped me :)!

Thanks again

If your going to use that for arrow keys, your going to have to change it a lot. You should be able to change it to arrow keys by putting a for loop in there with keydown.

Ah, okay :)

I havn't tested it myself yet, but I will do when I get home, i'll also play with it like you've said.

I tested it and the script I gave you works.

^^

It was a example, I needed help.

it's too bloated for real use anyway (granted that's not the point of the rule)

hey, why is R0bin back?

Bloated? Yeah I'm sure you could shorten it but I wouldn't use the term 'Bloated'.

I'll be editing it majorly anyway :)
I'll just say that it's a V 1.0 going through to V 5.0, hopefully.
