How can I make a loop inside a toggle button!

ranaabdullah

In this picture, I want that If I toggle ON the Expert Button, the up, down, left, right keys will start working and if I toggle OFF it then these keys will not work and It will be a loop so that whenever I click button, inside the button the keys will work forever but if it will be off no key will work

I have so much problem with this!!!

You need a boolean var that tells you whether expert is on or off....

boolean expertModeIsOn=false;

now when a arrow is clicked depending on that var do something or not

(or when expertModeIsOn==false don't show the arrows)

Chrisir

If (expertModeIsOn) { 
 // arrow does somthing .....
}

boolean expertModeIsOn=false; boolean Scientist = false; boolean Amateur = false; void setup() { size(800,500); r = 0; g = 0; b = 0;

noStroke(); cp5 = new ControlP5(this);
f=loadFont("MinionPro-Semibold-40.vlw"); cp5 = new ControlP5(this); String[] cameras = Capture.list(); PFont pfont = createFont("Arial",15,true); ControlFont font = new ControlFont(pfont,241);

cp5.addToggle("Expert") .setPosition(80, 150) .setSize(115, 30) .setMode(Toggle.SWITCH);

cp5.getController("Expert") .getCaptionLabel() .setFont(font) .toUpperCase(false) .setSize(15);

cp5.addToggle("Scientist") .setValue(0) .setPosition(80, 235) .setSize(115, 30) .setMode(Toggle.SWITCH);

cp5.getController("Scientist") .getCaptionLabel() .setFont(font) .toUpperCase(false) .setSize(15); cp5.addToggle("Amateur") .setValue(0) .setPosition(80, 320) .setSize(115, 30) .setMode(Toggle.SWITCH);

cp5.getController("Amateur") .getCaptionLabel() .setFont(font) .toUpperCase(false) .setSize(15); }

void Expert(boolean theFlag) { if(theFlag==false){ println("Hello"); } } void Scientist(boolean theFlag) { if(theFlag==true) { println("Hello"); } } void Amateur(boolean theFlag) { if(theFlag==true) { println("Hello"); } } void keyPressed() { if (expertModeIsOn=true) { switch(keyCode){

case UP: println("UP!"); fill(255,0,0); triangle(100, 440, 160, 440, 130, 400); break;

Heres the programming... now whether the toggle switch is on or off.. the arrow keys are working

OK.. This runs (I had to comment out a few lines) and does what you want. You only forgot to change the value of expertModeIsOn when switching toggle.

import controlP5.*;

boolean expertModeIsOn=true; 
boolean Scientist = false; 
boolean Amateur = false; 
PFont pfont;
int r, g, b;
ControlP5 cp5;

void setup() { 
  size(800, 500); 
  r = 0; 
  g = 0; 
  b = 0;

  noStroke(); 
  cp5 = new ControlP5(this);
  // f=loadFont("MinionPro-Semibold-40.vlw"); 
  cp5 = new ControlP5(this); 
  // String[] cameras = Capture.list(); 
  PFont pfont = createFont("Arial", 15, true); 
  ControlFont font = new ControlFont(pfont, 241);

  cp5.addToggle("Expert") .setPosition(80, 150) .setSize(115, 30) .setMode(Toggle.SWITCH);

  cp5.getController("Expert") .getCaptionLabel() .setFont(font) .toUpperCase(false) .setSize(15);

  cp5.addToggle("Scientist") .setValue(0) .setPosition(80, 235) .setSize(115, 30) .setMode(Toggle.SWITCH);

  cp5.getController("Scientist") .getCaptionLabel() .setFont(font) .toUpperCase(false) .setSize(15); 
  cp5.addToggle("Amateur") .setValue(0) .setPosition(80, 320) .setSize(115, 30) .setMode(Toggle.SWITCH);

  cp5.getController("Amateur") .getCaptionLabel() .setFont(font) .toUpperCase(false) .setSize(15);
