Exclamation Button Masher - 04-20-2011, 07:37 PM

Hello everyone I am currently very puzzled at the moment. Does anybody know how to program a button mashing event? What I mean by button mashing is pressing for example the A key as fast as possible and after it has reached a certain limit proceeds to the next event or so. Picture a video game whereas two swords clash and the player has to press the A key a certain number of times in a time limit to beat the enemy sword or else the other sword beats the player's. An answer for this would be GREATLY helpful and as soon as possible too! Thank you all and have a nice day.

Well, the way I would do it is have a bunch of variables. The numbers would go from 1-15. When the swords clash, when you press space, the numbers would go up, and at the same time, have a method that reads if after 1 second, (in an if/e;se statement) if the variable (15) is not == to 1, then do miss method, or to slow

You are right without a doubt but I'm still having some trouble. Would there be any sort of way whereas you could possibly create an example for me and I learn with it?
