Pretty neat! Will you do a Level 2?

You can put as many keys.isDown() statements as you like in postSetp and in update. Just make sure to place a semicolon between the scripts which separates them.

I tried that, but when I put the keys.isDown for left and right, it just broke

I tried it myself, and I had no problem moving script from update to postStep:

(e)=>{
keys.isdown("r") ? {
e.this.pos = [-974.5, 9.5]
} : {
collideSet = 1
};
keys.isdown("right") ? {
e.this.vel = [4, 0]
} : {
e.this.vel = [0, 0]
}
}


Just be ready to add the additional script immediately after you type the semicolun! If you attempt to type the semicolon and then add nothing else until later, it won't allow you to do that. So, highlight and then COPY the script (Ctrl-X) which will also delete it from update. Then point your cursor to the right of the next-to-last bracket in postStep (The last bracket is for the (e)=>{}) and type the semicolon. Then before you do anything else, press Ctrl-V (paste) which will paste the added script to the right of the added semicolon. Thyme is very sensitive to the sequence of how you place new code in existing code.

Try that and let me know if it works for you.

Well, im just trying to get the left and right to work on the same. when i try, it just either only goes left, or only goes right.

I don't understand. Please explain what you mean by "work on the same". The same what? If you can describe what you want to do in detail, I'm sure that I can figure out a script that will work for you.

Work in the same section, i.e. the onKey, postSep, and update tabs

It works for me, so you are obviously not doing something correctly. But I cannot help you unless you can explain in DETAIL exactly what you are doing, and at what point it fails.


Did you try to copy my script from an earlier comment, and paste it into the postStep section in your scene? If you copy/paste correctly, then you will see that it does in fact work!

Im trying to make it go left AND right
I put the script:
(e)=>{
keys.isdown("r") ? {
e.this.pos = [-974.5, 9.5]
} : {
collideSet = 1
};
keys.isdown("right") ? {
e.this.vel = [4, 0]
} : {
e.this.vel = [0, 0]
};
keys.isdown("left") ? {
e.this.vel = [-4, 0]
} : {
e.this.vel = [0, 0]
}
}

It doesn't work because every e.this.vel = [0,0] forces the velocity to be zero even though you are commanding it to move with a e.this.vel = [-4, 0] script in some other area. One simple way to get around that is to put each IF statement in the FALSE section of the previous IF statement, like this:

If this thing is true ? {then do this}:{otherwise, if this other thing is true ? {then do this}:{otherwise, if this other thing is true ?}: {etc.....} Then the last false condition would be to stop the object from moving.

So, for this actual scene, the code would look like this:


(e)=>{
keys.isdown("r") ? {
e.this.pos = [-974.5, 9.5]
} : {
collideSet = 1
};
keys.isdown("right") ? {
e.this.vel = [4, 0]
} : {
keys.isdown("left") ? {
e.this.vel = [-4, 0]
} : {
e.this.vel = [0, 0]
}
}
}

This should work. Try it! (copy and paste it into your scene)

Thanks Xray, it works =D

You're welcome!

You can use this script for both directions and resetting: (e)=>{
e.this.vel = [0, 0];
keys.isdown("left") ? {
e.this.vel = [-4, 0]
} : {};
keys.isdown("right") ? {
e.this.vel = [4, 0]
} : {};
keys.isdown("r") ? {
e.this.pos = [-974.5, 9.5]
} : {
collideSet = 1
}
}
