Building a trigger Feb 22nd, 2010, 8:34am   Hello people. Id like to build a trigger. That means when i release  a key  a boolean "trigger" switches on and when i release it again (after being pressed) it turns off. Something like that: Code: void keyReleased() { if(keyCode== CONTROL) { if (trigger) {      trigger = false; if (!trigger)      trigger = true; } } The problem with that code is that the trigger switches to false and BECAUSE its false it switches back to on in the same time...

Re: Building a trigger Reply #1 - Feb 22nd, 2010, 8:49am   you could add else before if(!trigger) which would give you: Code: boolean trigger; void keyReleased() {  if(keyCode== CONTROL) {    if (trigger) {      trigger = false;    } else if (!trigger) {      trigger = true;    }  }  println("trigger "+trigger); } or less code: Code: boolean trigger; void keyReleased() {  if(keyCode== CONTROL) {    trigger = !trigger;  }  println("trigger "+trigger); }
