How would I change the function of the button once it is pressed, for example. Click a button makes an object spawn, then clicking it again makes it despawn the object, then click again makes it spawn again… etc. Right now I have two separate buttons to do this task, how could I just make it one button.
Here are the two separate buttons
local platform = display.newImage( scene.perRunGroup, "shapes/platform1.png") platform.alpha = 0 platform.myName = "platform" local widget = require( "widget" ) -- Function to handle button events local function handleButtonEvent( event ) physics.addBody( platform, "dynamic", physicsData:get("platform")) platform.alpha = 1 platform.gravityScale = 0 platform.linearDamping = 900000000000000000000 platform.angularDamping = 9000000000000000000 platform.isFixedRotation=true platform.x = 270 platform.y = 35 platform.rotation = 0 if ( "ended" == event.phase ) then print( "Button was pressed and released" ) end end local ap1 = widget.newButton( { width = 45, height = 45, defaultFile = "buttons/spawn.png", overFile = "buttons/spawnover.png", label = "button", onEvent = handleButtonEvent } ) -- Center the button ap1.x = 25 ap1.y = 569 -- Change the button's label text ap1:setLabel( "P1" ) sceneGroup:insert(ap1) ------------------------------------------------------- local widget = require( "widget" ) -- Function to handle button events local function handleButtonEvent( event ) platform.alpha = 0 physics.removeBody(platform) if ( "ended" == event.phase ) then print( "Button was pressed and released" ) end end local rp1 = widget.newButton( { width = 45, height = 45, defaultFile = "buttons/spawn.png", overFile = "buttons/spawnover.png", label = "button", onEvent = handleButtonEvent } ) -- Center the button rp1.x = 25 rp1.y = 615 -- Change the button's label text rp1:setLabel( "X" ) sceneGroup:insert(rp1)
