Proceed on button press

[xthexendxhasxcomex]

hi there
i was just wondering if it was possible to make an event stop when you let go of a button and the resume once you start holding that same button again.

example - i have a desert that gets lighter as you go through it here is a screenshot of it.

i want to be able to make it so that when it gets light out (when the tint of the screen gets to be at (0,0,0,0)) it has an event to take you to a camp scene to sleep until the night, then do it all over again. after three days going in one direction you reach a new place.
if someone has a better way of doing this can someone please help me or if someone wants to help me and use my way but needs more explanation just let me know what you need and i'll let you know..

PLEASE HELP ME!!! i really need this done to release my demo!!

I am guessing it is for an NPC, since the player does that automatically. Just change the 'Player' in the move event to the event you want to stop.

If you are using a large map, then change the screen tone in response to the Players X and Y values. Like if he gets to Value 26 X then decrease it. Then when he gets to say 0 teleport to a new map or whatever. Whereas if you are using a small looping map then add a variable every time you change the screen and when the variable reaches a certain value teleport to a new map and have the scene.

Parallel process:

[Player Y] = Player Y map

if [Player Y] = 50
  screen tone = very dark
else
  if [Player Y] = 49
    screen tone = pretty dark
  else
    if [Player Y] = 48
      screen tone = a bit dark
    else
      if [Player Y] = 47
        screen tone = a little bright
      else
        if [Player Y] = 46
          screen tone = pretty bright
        else
          if [Player Y] = 45
            screen tone = almost normal
          else
            if [Player Y] = 44
              screen tone = normal tone
etc...

Basically what Northern49 is saying is change the screen tone when the Players Y value reachs a certain area of the map. Like the above example.
