Double clicking to load a save game

[shaun9991]

Hi all,

I have a standard AGS save/load system set up in my game (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/ags/tutorial/gui/2/) - just wondering if it's possible to "double click" on the desired save-game file name in the list box to load it? Rather than clicking it once, then clicking the Load/Restore button.

I hope that makes sense!

Many thanks,
Shaun

Good question, the listbox event says "OnSelectionChanged", so you need to test whether that event fires if the already selected option is clicked a second time. If it does, you can use a timer to detect a double click.

Great idea - thanks Khris! I'll see if that works

This works:

Code: ags

int prevIndex = -1;

// called on every game cycle, even when the game is blocked
function repeatedly_execute_always() {
  if (IsTimerExpired(20)) prevIndex = -1;
}

function lstRestoreGamesList_OnSelectionChanged(GUIControl *control)
{
  int index = control.AsListBox.SelectedIndex;
  if (prevIndex != index) {
    prevIndex = index;
    SetTimer(20, 20); // half a second
  }
  else btnRestoreGame_OnClick(btnRestoreGame, eMouseLeft);
}

edit: removed superfluous else if

Thanks so much Khris! It's up and running
