Pressing Two Buttons At Once

kanuvas

Hi All,

I have an issue with buttons. I have 4 buttons in a quiz, and the quiz progression/new questions etc are controlled with pressing the incorrect or correct answer.

This works corrects when pressing only 1 correct/incorrect answer, and I progress through the quiz correctly.

However if my finger slips, or are too fat, I can press 2 answers at once.

So my question is, how can I stop 2 buttons being pressed at once?

Many thanks,

Rob

Using touch 2 maybe.
Its like when you want to use two fingers zoom

Can you explain. I have a feeling you may have mis-understood me. I have 4 buttons, but I only want to be able to press one at once

Apologize about that, i have confused the question.
What rule are you using for detect while press button?
Mouse button down and inside?

When TOUCH is PRESSED

Test then, when touch is pressed and inside.

@mrpacogp That rule will be true if you are pressing two or more buttons at the same time. I think you can do it with

When [all] Touch is Pressed AND Mouse Position is Inside

Another way is to check the touches.count attribute and make sure it's 1.

I actually have set up a rather convoluted way, which is to concatenate the name of the button to a text string (with Otherwise text string ="") and check to see if the button name matches the text string.

Add the touch count to each of your button's touch is pressed rules. So rule when touch is pressed and game.touchcount < 2

This will two one of two things, first if one is pressed first it will let that one work, two if both are pressed nothing will happen.

Use the "When Touch is Pressed/Released" condition in your rule. Also check your layers.
