Double tap action

[Kris]

How can I make an action by quick double-tapping a direction or fire button?

I have seen this method used before wher a text box is used and the input is translated to text. for instance if user presses right add the letter r to text box. if text box = rr then perform action.

Does this help?

Thanks! I'll try that.

Personally i would create a counter. If you don't understand these events just write back.

On pressing "Space" and counter = 0
-Set counter to 10

On pressing "Space" and counter > 50
-Do double tap action

Counter greater > 0
-Subtract 1 from counter

[Kris]

I don't get it, Nick...

If the counter is set on 10, how would the action activate when the counter is on 50?

Please, explain this to me, because I can't get it to work.

Thanks!

I think he means "Add 10 to counter".

[Kris]

Still doesn't work, I really don't get it...

I think he either meant 100 or 5 in place of the 10 or 50, but that is the method I use.

Upon pressing a key, and counter is 0 - set counter to a number

Upon pressing the same key, and the counter is above 0, then do the double tap action.

Counter is above 0, subtract one from counter.

The MMF2 On user clicks evens aren't fast enough and don't fire on fast clicking. If you need something to trigger every click use:

+Repeat while mouse key is pressed
+Only one action when event loops
-Insert actions here

This is just a pointer for click events and it comes in handy.

Ok I finally got it!
This is what I did:

Upon pressing a key, and counter = 0
-Set counter to 20

Upon pressing a key, and counter < 15
-Do double tap action

Counter greater > 0
-Subtract 1 from counter


What do you think about this solution?
