Timed Event

Games
#1

The code above has hands moving across the screen and a print statement telling me when they have passed a hit spot. I also have a touch event that plays a animation when clicked. What I want to accomplish is a timing event. I only want the animation to happen when you have clicked on the screen when the hands are inside the hit spot… Not sure how to go about this, so any help will be much appreciated… Thanks

I made a few changes to the code… Added a dispatch function which plays all the animations if clicked at the right time… Not sure how to track that the mouse has been clicked at the right time can somebody please help!!

Set a flag so that when the hand is in the hit spot, handActive = true (or whatever) and then when it’s out, handActive = false.

Then add a function where if handActive == true you do your animation.

Make sense? :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 14163 reply_id: 52277[/import]
