Hello
I have some virtual buttons that increment or decrement a variable when pressed once. If I hold down the button, I would like to continue changing the variables value
and sync the screen to reflect this. For some reason this doesn't appear to work correctly.

My website for testing is here

to get a better idea of what I'm trying to do.

Thanks yoda333

      If getVirtualButtonPressed(1)
		 PlaySound ( sound,5 )

integer GetButtonState( index )

1 is returned if down 0 otherwise

and your code only needs one sync preferable just before the loop command
using sync that much will kill any frame rate

try something like the following

+ Code Snippet


rem will play four piano keyboard sounds holding down key will cause continuous sound
do
if GetButtonState( 1 ) =1 and getsoundsplaying(1)=0
    playsound(1)
endif
if GetButtonState( 2 ) =1 and getsoundsplaying(2)=0
    playsound(2)
endif
if GetButtonState( 3 ) =1 and getsoundsplaying(3)=0
    playsound(3)
endif
if GetButtonState( 4 ) =1 and getsoundsplaying(4)=0
    playsound(4)
endif
sync()
loop

also

Quote: "elseif isn't always the solution"

elseif is great if you have a new condition to check true
but for your example there is no point as its better to use
when there is multiple conditions and multiple states

+ Code Snippet

Select button
   case 1:
        rem if button=1 do something
   endcase
   case 2:
        rem if button=2 do something
   endcase
  case default:
      rem button not 1 or 2 do something else
   endcase
endselect

an example of when case cant be used and elseif is the better choice

+ Code Snippet

if season=1 and raining=yes

elseif season=1 and raining=false

elseif season=1 and hail=true

endif

GOODLUCK with your project

Thanks fubrpk

GetVirtualButtonState(1) = 1 does the trick.

Cheers
