Button Input Processing and Conditional Branch Help

[Meness]

Seriously guys, I don't know how to ask for help about this except:

Is there any possible way to make a button input processing event where if nothing is pressed, something happens? I know how to make it so if something is pressed, but what if nothing is pressed? Hope I explained well enough

In your Conditional Branch, check "Set handling when conditions do not apply.

@>Conditional Branch: The A button is being pressed
@>
: Else
@> <put your 'not being pressed' commands here>
: Branch End

I know how to do it with "The A button is being pressed". But I'm using

@>Button Input Processing: [0050: key]
@>Conditional Branch: Variable[0050: key] == 13
@>blahblah event

The reason I use Button Input Processing is because "if A button is being pressed" requires the player either to hold A or smash A. So my question was if I used Button Input Processing is there a way to make it so if nothing is pressed within a certain time, something else happens.

Thanks

The Button Input Processing wait for an Input, so until you press a key it won't go further.

So use a bunch of conditional branches each checking if a particular button is being pressed. It's not pretty, but it solves the problem.

P.s. technically Button Input Processing waits for a key trigger which is different from a key press. A trigger happens when you press a key down. To make another trigger you have to release the key and press it down again.

Hey Zeriab, thanks but that's not what I want :/ I was wondering if there was a way to make a conditional branch to check if no key was triggered. Umm maybe an example scenario would make more sense:

Player walks into map. A wolf notices player, and starts running towards him. Wolf jumps towards player. If player is able to press C in a certain time, player will counter attack. If player pressed wrong button or no button at all, wolf successfully attacks.

Hope that made sense. Thanks

So it's impossible for me to make an event like above?

It's definitely possible. In the situation you describe I would put the Button Input Processing in a parallel process and then check the status of associated variable.

Ohh! That's very logical! Stupid of me haha thanks Zeriab for teaching me something new :D

I am glad you learned something :D
Don't feel stupid. These kinds of simple solutions are often harder to come up with than they appear.
