Continuous Move by Key Bind

[salies1807]

Will it work ?

How can I improve it?

Is there an easer way?

Code: Select all

keys.bind=("d",{true ? {sim.frequecy = ({scene.my.movx2(scene.my.passo/scene.my.segundo)};100)} : sim.frequecy=100}

scene.my.movx2=[{scene.my.passo=scene.my.passo + 1};{scene.my.passo=0;scene.my.velx1=scene.my.velx1 + 1 }]

scene.my.passo=0
scene.my.segundo=20
scene.my.velx1=0

I've made some changes but it still don't work...
The "scene.my.velx1" should get bigger, but he doesn't and I just don't know why.

Code: Select all

keys.bind("d",{sim.frequency = scene.my.movx2(scene.my.passo/scene.my.segundo)() ; 100})

scene.my.movx2=[{scene.my.passo=scene.my.passo + 1},{scene.my.passo=0;scene.my.velx1=scene.my.velx1 + 1 }]

scene.my.passo=0
scene.my.segundo=20
scene.my.velx1=0

There are other reasons why it won't work, but the main is that you need too stop messing with sim.frequency and find another method or doing what you need.

I would be more helpful, but I'm on holiday with only my iPod until tomorrow.

Code: Select all

scene.my.movx2= (a, b, c)=>{a = a + 1;
a = 0;
c = c + 1};

keys.bind("d",{scene.my.unknown = scene.my.movx2(scene.my.passo, scene.my.segundo, scene.my.velx1)});

scene.my.passo=0;
scene.my.segundo=20;
scene.my.velx1=0;

I've no clue what you're trying to do, and I also have no clue how key binds work, but this is my best guess.

Note how I substituted scene.my.unknown for sim.frequency.

bozbez, do you have any idea?

[bozbez]

I think things are being overcomplicated. From what i gather from the original code, all that needs to be done is the increasing of scene.my.velx1 when 'd' is pressed?

[Someone Else]

Overcomplication is right.

I guess we will have to wait.

You know, you could always bind D to a hinge and have it trigger an onCollide, which increases the variable every time the object with the hinge hits another object.

[salies1807]

Sorry for all this, but I'm just starting to program, I was just trying to increasethe velx1 as we press 'd' but the action (movx2) was supposed to happen every second with no need to press repeatedly the key.

Also, I was trying to do it only programming and with no scene.my things.

[bozbez]

You want scene.my.velx to increase by 1 every second?

[salies1807]

yeap

[Someone Else]

That's easy.

Code: Select all

scene.my.velx = {math.toInt(sim.time)}

This constantly increases scene.my.velx by one unit every second. Using a key bind is much more complicated.

I would do it mechanically, use a hinge to make a box hit another box every second. One of the boxes gets this code:

Code: Select all

scene.my.velx = scene.my.velx + 1

However, I think this code is what you want (correct me if my key bind syntax is wrong)

Code: Select all

keys.bind("d", {{scene.my.ltime >= sim.time + 1} ? {
    scene.my.velx = scene.my.velx + 1;
    scene.my.ltime = sim.time
} : {}})

I know if you call this up on a laser, it should work, but I don't know if a key bind is called upon every frame or just when the button is initially pressed. I shall test it.

Shows what a tired brain can do. This code works:

Code: Select all

keys.bind("d", {
        {scene.my.ltime <= sim.time - 1} ? {
            scene.my.velx = scene.my.velx + 1;
            scene.my.ltime = sim.time
        } : {}
    })
}
