Click to walk, Double-click to run?

[Janik]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to AGS (did the whole tutorial and searched the manual though), but I do know how to program.

My question is, has anyone implemented a "click once to walk, double-click to run" feature in an AGS game, and can I see the script used? The Longest Journey and Syberia have this feature, and I really like it. I think every adventure game should have it!

Thanks,

Janik

This topic should put you on the right way: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=12190.0

Hey, thanks, that look like it would work.

I used this:

But I didn't like the delay (waiting for a double click) when you clicked the eye/hand/whatever. What I changed was that there is now only double-clicking detection when the walking icon is selected. Seems to work pretty well so far!

Yes. Use a timer and IsButtonPressed (mouse button) to see if they click twice within a certain amount of time.

Indeed. In the example code given here:

...when a click event is recorded, a dblClick variable is either 0 or 1. So your script can record double-clicks for any clicking even, be it eyes, hand or walk.
