Touch is released issue

simo103

I have some behaviors triggered by the 'Touch is released' rule. However when I reset the scene if someone fails to complete the task some of those behaviors trigger again.

I'm guessing that 'Touch is released' is still true. Anyone know anything about this and what I might do?

@simo103
Ok here is an idea i hope it will work for you :

create an attribute - self.IcanDETECTrelease - boolean- set to true
put the "release rule inside a rule that says :

when IcanDETECTrelease is true

if touch is released
(do something)
change IcanDETECTrelease to false.
____________________

now make another rule that say:

when touch is pressed
change IcanDETECTrelease to true
_______________________-

so basically what we are doing here is letting the actor detect the release only if first it was pressed ,

let me know if it worked fo you

Hi Roy,

your code suggestion worked perfectly thanks. Also I purchased (since I had some left from xmas iTune gift cards) and did a review in the Cda app store.

seems a shame that it needs that extra rule...

yeah stormy agreed .. I have the actor in my HUD so its released status gets reused quite a bit .... would have been nice if it automatically did not register as released after any of the behaviors within were complete.
