On Release Mouse Command?

[TokalaFox]

I've looked all over, but I can't seem to find anything on this.

I just want to make an on release command for an action. Like something won't occur until you've let the mouse button up.

I was thinking about making a counter for this. I would make it equal to 1 at start. This would just delay the action, but that's not the exact effect I'd want, though it's closer to what I want.

User Clicks
-set counter to 0

Counter equals 0.
-Action occurs
-set counter to 1

That way I'd get the desired action with the minor delay so that it's not using pre click conditions and such.

I know in flash you can use an on(Release) command for this sort of thing... is there anything like this in Multimedia Fusion Developer 2?

User clicks with left mouse button
-Set counter to 1

(Negate) Repeat while left mouse-key is pressed
Counter = 1
-Do your actions
-Set counter to 2

I've included the following example if you weren't able to follow.

You only need

(Negate) Repeat while left mouse-key is pressed
Only once while event loops

You can use a counter, but slightly different than your suggestion.

* While user is pressing mouse button
- Set counter to 1

* [Negate] While user is pressing mouse button
+ Counter = 1
- Set counter to 2

* Counter is 2
- Do action
- Set counter to 0

Edit: Stephen's suggestion works also, but then the action it will trigger at start of frame as well

Thanks everyone!

This is what i would suggest, but be aware that the condition will trigger one time at start of frame even if you dont touch the mouse if you do this.

You could add an event to Stephens method - that says the game timer must be greater than say a tenth of a second before this happens. That should stop the initial trigger at frame start.

Then it will trigger once it reaches that time instead
