Lua Programming Help Thread

Yup, you do this:

In your while true do loop put this code just below:

Code:

---

pad = Controls.read()

---

Now, below that put this:

Code:

---

if pad:cross() and pad:square then
action here
end

---

you can of course change cross and square to what ever buttons you want.

Try

Code:

---

controltimer=0

if pad:cross() and pad:square() and controltimer <= 10 then
--\\action here\\--
controltimer=controltimer+1
end

---

That should count the control's until they are pressed 10 times.
You may also need to insert another function to stop the pad
from looping really fast ;).

Sorry i just woke up so i can't exactly give a you a 110% brilliant
padtacular code snippet :icon_razz .

I think u mean:

Code:

---

if pad:cross() and oldpad:cross() ~= pad:cross()

---

Add that to your if(the one c5cha7 showed),and make it suit your code(the button inputted may be different)to slow down the pad looping.

EDIT try this:

Code:

---

controltimer=0

if pad:cross() and pad:square() and oldpad:cross() ~= pad:cross() and oldpad:square() ~= pad:square and controltimer <= 10 then
--\\action here\\--
controltimer=controltimer  +1
end

---

I think thats right...
--Vaza

Code:

---

controltimer=0

if pad:cross() and pad:square() and oldpad:cross() ~= pad:cross() and oldpad:square() ~= pad:square and controltimer <= 10 then
--\\action here\\--
controltimer=controltimer    +1
end

---

I've been meaning to ask this a long time: Whats with the "oldpad" and "pad" people keep using? Whats the difference?

Well you put oldpad = Controls.read() at the beginning of the code. It makes it so you cant hold down the button to do the action, you have to hit it repeatedly.
