Double-press buttons

Did a search and could only find construct classic bits and pieces which weren't entirely relevant.

I have my character with the required animations:

Single punch

Double punch

Pressing the A key triggers the single punch animation.

I can't work out properly how to have the double punch animation trigger instead if the A key is pressed twice within a short space of time (200-300ms for example)

Thanks ahead for any help :)

You probably have two variables on your player. One called "DoublePunch" and another one called "DoublePunch_Toggled" or something like that.

So,

When A is pressed:   (Punch)

                               Set DoublePunch to 1

When A is pressed     Set DoublePunch_Activated to 1

DoublePunch is = 1

When A is Pressed

DoublePunch_Toggled = 1 (Double Punch)

                                        Set DoublePunch to 0

                                        Set DoublePunch_Toggled to 0

Now you can Double Punch, but you can also do it after 200-300 ms.

So, you need to add a "Wait" action when A is pressed:

When A is pressed: (Punch)

DoublePunch = 1      Wait 200/300 ms

                                Set DoublePunch_Activated to 0

                                Set DoublePunch to 0

I am not sure if this will work, try it.

And maybe upload a .capx, if it doesnt work!

Cheers, I'll give it a try now :)

Super, and please upload a .capx so i can take a look at it, if it doesn't work:)

Didn't work,

Here is the file

The events in particular are at bottom of event sheet.

Thanks

If anyone else has a suggestion, please don't hesitate to comment :)

Not sure if wait will work as that code won't accept any other input during the wait if I am not off in my thinking. That is the point of the wait.

I could be wrong though.

The wait command didn't work, I thought it ignored input too

Damn, i'll take a deeper look tommorow when i get home :P

Hello. First post. Love Construct2.

Also in need of similar method. If player press x only once, block. If player double-press x, then dodge. Sounds easy. Couldn't make it work. Timers and stuff getting messy.

Sound something so intuitive that there should be a topic or even a behaviour support for it. Also double tap for touchscreen.

Best Regards.
