Hi, thanks for reading this. I want to make a button that does something different each time is pressed. I cant get the logic to keep trace of how much clicks someone has done in the same button.

A simple demo showing a number increase by the no. of clicks someone does would do i belive.

Thanks

...actually the thing i want to do, is a button that turns ON with one click,, and then if the user clicks it again while ON, it turns back to OFF, but i guess the other example can give me the logic behind this too.

thanks

Well,, i somehow figure it out this way,, but is there a better way of doing it? thanks

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 60
make object cube 1,1
delete object 1

do
text 0,0,"Click No. "+str$(click)+""

ink rgb(0,0,0),rgb(0,0,0)
box 15,100,44,120
ink rgb(0,0,255),rgb(0,0,0)
box 17,102,42,118

INK rgb(255,255,255),rgb(0,0,0)

if mousex()>15 and mousex()<35 and mousey()>100 and mousey()<120 AND MOUSECLICK()=1 and clicked=0
inc click,1
clicked=1
endif

if mouseclick()=0
clicked=0
endif

if click=1:text 17,104,"ON":endif
if click=2:text 17,104,"OFF":endif
if click=>3 then click=1
sync

thats pretty close to what u (I) would use.
for a 3d back drop instead of making a box then delete it, just use

+ Code Snippet

backdrop on

and using ink command in ur loop severly slows the program down as well.

set ink color before entering main loop, then if u need colored boxes, do some thing like this

+ Code Snippet

BOX Left, Top, Right, Bottom, rgb(?,?,?), rgb(?,?,?), rgb(?,?,?),  rgb(?,?,?)

some pretty nice effects can be done with this command.

hope that helps

aye!

I would make it more boolean... I would avoid increasing the number beyond 1 (0=off 1=on). I would also add a timer so the mouseclick is only detected after the timer goes beyond a certain point. That way you can control how fast the switch works.

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 60
backdrop on

tim=timer()
do
 text 0,0,"Click No. "+str$(click)+""

 ink 0,0 
 box 15,100,44,120
 ink rgb(0,0,255),0
 box 17,102,42,118

 INK rgb(255,255,255),0

 if mousex()>15 and mousex()<35 and mousey()>100 and mousey()<120 AND MOUSECLICK()=1 and timer()>tim+200
  if click=0
   click=1
   else
   click=0
  endif
  tim=timer()
 endif

 if click=1:text 17,104,"ON":endif
 if click=0:text 17,104,"OFF":endif

 sync
loop

Well thanks

both suggestions are good. I think ill be using colored boxes a lot so its a good advice crighton , thanks.
Also Grog Grueslayer, i liked a lot the idea of using timer to control mouse responses i belive that will solve some other things i tried to figure out. thanks
