So here is my code, plain and simple:
local playerAccelerate = function( event )
if gameIsActive then
player.x = player.x + event.xGravity \* 20
end
end
In my main game loop, I call this:
Runtime:addEventListener("accelerometer", playerAccelerate) Everything works perfect, exactly how I want; however, I want the Runtime:addEventListener to start after a 3 - 4 second delay. So basically detect the accelerometer after 3 or 4 seconds have passed.
I have tried for about 2 hours to do this may different ways, but I just cant get it to work. I tried timer.performWithDelay, if statements, many different things, and it just wont work!
To give you an idea of exactly what im trying to do, my player moves onto the screen from off the screen using transition.to, and I dont want the accelerometer to start working until the player moves to the center of the screen (the transition takes 3 seconds).
I am still in the process of learning the programming fundamentals of Lua so sorry for the noob questions. Thanks a lot to everyone who has helped me so far, and anyone who helps me here!
