Timer not working!

DigiChain

Hi, I can't get a timer to work. I'm pretty sure all is correct - but nothing. Are there any known probs with timers?

Here's what I'm doing.

I have an actor and a rule:

-when touch is pressed...
Timer - After 2 seconds (run to completion ticked) - change attribute x to 1.

It doesn't work, the attribute doesn't change. However without the timer it changes the attribute fine.

Ideas?

That's strange because it works fine for me. But I had to click once and not click again for it to change otherwise no matter how many times I clicked it wouldn't change unless I stopped and waited. I used an integer which is what I'm assuming you were using? Or am I wrong?

You'd have to make another attribute telling it to only press once. I don't know if this is the right way since I'm no guru but it worked for me.

attribute boolean stopPressing
attribute X

Rule
When stopPressing is False
Rule
touch is pressed
stopPressing is True
Timer
X to 1

Cheers. I gave up in the end and found a work around that didn't use a timer.
I'm always having problems with them, i've no idea why or what I'm doing wrong!

Ah, I see. Well good thing you found a work around at least.
