Im very new to this, but i made an event for a space invaders game and i managed to make key down repeat but not key up.
EDIT: i have to repeatedly stab the left arrow to make it go left

Help please?

Thanks

what do you want it to do?
key up makes an action happen when the key is lifted like how keydown works.
for the caveman demo the keydown event made it change to running animation keyup made it change back to standing

quick reply!

i want it to go left, i typed x = x - 4 to make it go left but it has repeat eneable/disable so i cant hold the left key and make it go continusouly (sp) left

[Caaz Games]

oh, if you want the ship to go left set it to repeat

[wolfeh66]

but i cant find repeat, thats the problem
it was near the bottom of the window for key down but it just isnt there for key up

[Caaz Games]

Key up doesn't have a repeat, use keydown for making the actor move.

[wolfeh66]

so what other key does have a repeat?

[Caaz Games]

? ? ok im confused sort of...heres how you make an actor move, go to add event>Key down(Repeat)>Script edtior>

Code: Select all

x=x-4

then click add(immediate action).

[wolfeh66]

yeah, i did that with a + intstead of - to make him go right by pressing right arrow key
but my probelm is, im not sure of a key to make him go left with x = x - 4

confusing now

[Caaz Games]

oh maybe the left arrow key?

[wolfeh66]

yes but key up doesnt repeat so i cant hold the left arrow key to make him go left, i have to repeatedly stab the left arrow key

[Caaz Games]

use keydown

[wolfeh66]

but ive used that to make him go right with the right arrow key

[wolfeh66]

will have to check for answer tomorrow

bye for now

just do it again look at the space invaders demo. save your space invaders and load the space invaders it should be where game editor is located on your computer probably program files, then in tutorials open it up and then click on the player ship and look at edit events there is multiple buttons on keydown.
