Now that I can get beyond printing a simple statement, Ihave realized that all i need to do is give the computer a loop to keep the program running until a condition is met. So, I decided to write a simple program with conditions controlled by mouseckick().
This is it:

x=0
repeat
if mouseclick()=2 then x=x+1
if x=1 then print "11111111111111111111111111111111111"
if x=2 then print "22222222222222222222222222222222222"
if x=3 then print "33333333333333333333333333333333333"
until escapekey()=1
I expected that by rightclicking once, I would get
"111111111111111111111111111111111111"
by rightclicking twice, I would get
"222222222222222222222222222222222222"
and by rightclicking 3 times I would get
"333333333333333333333333333333333333"
Thus, I would end up with
"11111111111111111111111111111111111"
"22222222222222222222222222222222222"
"33333333333333333333333333333333333"
but each line would show up with each click.

What I get is
"11111111111111111111111111111111111"
"22222222222222222222222222222222222"
"33333333333333333333333333333333333"
when I rightclick the first time.

Why???

try adding :sleep 100 on the same line as if mouseclick()=2 then x=x+1

so it should look like this...if mouseclick()=2 then x=x+1:sleep 100

Your loop is running so fast that it's registering all the event 3 times in the space it takes for you to click and let go of the mouse button again (if not more!).

Here is one way of stopping this from happening:



Another would be to use a timer() event to check to see how long has passed since you last clicked and then detect if you've clicked again.

OK, I fixed it. I tried both ways and it worked fine
Thanks!
