Button Tap?

[speedolphins]

I am a pretty good eventer, but some of the things in RMXP I don't use sometimes. Right now I am making an evented ABS, but I've come to a rather bad problem. I can just hold the attack button and I attack. I need to find a way to check if the player doesn't hold it; but tap it.

Here is my code:
@> Conditional Branch: The C button is being pressed
@> (The attack code)
@> Else
@> (The player being damaged code)

So, the player is invincible if they hold C. I've heard something like "Button Input Processing" and I found it, but I have no idea how it works. Can someone teach me how to use it? If that's not how you check if the player is tapping a key, please teach me how. And teach me how to use "Button Input Processing too :tongue:.

Thank you for reading this. Hopefully someone can come to the rescue.

Have a nice day,
~speedolphins

button input processing man, it's my favorite fucking event command. I use it for so much, menus, battle systems, and lots of little really useful things that might not even occur most of the time.

t's actually ridiculously easy to use. I can sum it up in one screenshot actually.

basically, button input processing slaps your input into a variable. then you use the variables to check which button was pushed.

And to see which number corresponds to which button simply right-click on the button input process dialog and press What's this?

Thank you, so much! You don't know how much that helped me! Should I add you to my credits list? o.O

Wow, I didn't know that either! Can you do that with anything?

Thank you both for helping me. I think I understand now.

For the tap, you might need something like this;

@> Conditional branch: C is down
 @> Switch(Attack Switch) on
 @> Wait 5 frames #Or however long
 @> Attack Switch off
@> End

Have that as a common event that is always running or something.

And then have, for the monster.

@> Conditional branch: Attack Switch is on
 @> (The Attack code)
: Else
 @> (The player being damaged code)
@> End
