Loop problem

[Chaosg1]

I have been messing around with a script of mine but i can't find how to make this loop works correctly...

def spring_jump
    if @eventx == nil or  @eventy == nil
      return
    end
    loop do
      $spring_jump = true    
      $h_speed = 5
      unless $game_player.moving?     
        if Input.press?(Input::RIGHT) and $game_player.passable?($game_player.x,$game_player.y-1,$game_player.direction)     
          $game_player.move_upper_right          
          elsif Input.press?(Input::LEFT) and $game_player.passable?($game_player.x,$game_player.y-1,$game_player.direction)        
            $game_player.move_upper_left             
          else
            if $game_player.passable?($game_player.x,$game_player.y-1,8)            
              $game_player.move_up                    
              else
                $spring_jump= false   
              end
            end
          end           
          if @spring_power <= 0        
            $spring_jump= false  
            break
          else   
            @spring_power -= 1
          end
        end
      end

What I want is:
-The character just keeps moving up, until @spring power is 0
-if i press right he moves upright
-if i press left he moves upper left

Thanx for reading!

Well, you problem is a loop like this goes by SO fast that you don't have enough time to press those keys. What you have to do is spread this out across the update methods in Scene_Map or Scene_Player. A loop like that can go by in milliseconds.

And to make it stop when @spring_power is 0 you can use "while @spring_power != 0", I think.

He's gonna have to get rid of the loop entirely if he wants to get this to work.
