Hotspot interaction problem (Solved) :)

[Stompybot]

I have started making a game and I have made it so that when someone interacts with a certain hotspot then they will obtain an item. However I want to make it so that the hotspot interacts differently when they click on it for a second time. Anyone know how

You have to create a variable that checks if the hotspot was clicked a second time.

It should look something like that:

Code: ags

int click=0;

interact_hotspotxy(){

  if (click==0) {  //first time hotspot is clicked
    ...
  }
  if (click==1) {  //second and any further time hotspot is clicked
    ...
  }

if (click==0) {
  click++;
}

}

Or:

Code: ags

...
  if (click==0) {
    ...
    click=1;
  }
  else {
    ...
  }
...

And since 3.0.1 I think, there's Game.DoOnceOnly.

(btw, this is probably the single most often posted question ever and the most common beginner's problem. Realizing that and doing a forum search first shouldn't be that far-fetched. This forum's first page contains at least one thread dealing with this problem.)

Sorry didn't know there was a forum search. Thanks
