script problem

[ripsyhehe]

Describe your problem here.

made an event where u gotta spam space or else you die, but the script like breaks when it does it for the third time, like for the first time i dont spam space i take damage, second time i do spam it i take no damage, then when i dont spam again i gain health and dont die?

heres my code:

`spacePresses = 0;

function onCreate()
spacePresses = 0;
precacheImage('spacebar');
precacheSound('DODGE');
precacheSound('Dodged');
end

function onUpdate(elapsed)
if keyJustPressed('space') then
spacePresses = spacePresses + 1;
end
end

function onEvent(name, value1, value2)
if name == "DodgeEvent" then
cameraFlash('other', 'ff0000', 0.5, false)
runTimer('Mashh', 4.5);
runTimer('NOMashes', 4.5);
makeAnimatedLuaSprite('spacebar', 'spacebar', 420, 200);
luaSpriteAddAnimationByPrefix('spacebar', 'spacebar', 'spacebar', 25, true);
luaSpritePlayAnimation('spacebar', 'spacebar');
setObjectCamera('spacebar', 'other');
scaleLuaSprite('spacebar', 0.70, 0.70);
addLuaSprite('spacebar', true);
makeLuaText('mashhhhh', 'MASH SPACE!!', 1300, 10, 450)
setTextColor('mashhhhh', '990000')
setTextSize('mashhhhh', 56)
setObjectCamera('mashhhhh', 'camOther')
addLuaText('mashhhhh')
cameraShake('hud', 0.01, 4.5)
cameraShake('game', 0.01, 4.5)
cameraShake('other',0.01, 4.5)
playSound('DODGE');
end
end

function onTimerCompleted(tag, loops, loopsLeft)
if tag == 'NOMashes' and spacePresses < 10 then
removeLuaSprite('spacebar');
removeLuaText('mashhhhh');
setProperty('health', 100);
elseif tag == 'Mashh' and spacePresses > 10 then
removeLuaSprite('spacebar');
removeLuaText('mashhhhh');
setProperty('health', 100);
end
end

Are you modding a build from source or with Lua?

Lua

What is your build target?

Windows x64

Did you edit anything in this build? If so, mention or summarize your changes.

No response

[frantastic24]

you didn't reset the variable when the event is called
and why are you running two timers that do the same thing

[ripsyhehe]

Dawg please just help me out and fix it up for me. it seems like you know what to fix lmao, im new to coding

[frantastic24]

don't ask people to do it for you

[ripsyhehe]

ok fine but wdym when you said i didnt reset the variable

[frantastic24]

Set it to 0

[ripsyhehe]

the timer??

[frantastic24]

no, the variable

[ripsyhehe]

which variable? idk which ur talking abt

[frantastic24]

There is only one variable in the script

[ripsyhehe]

what is it bro

[bruh1cat]

what is it bro

I think the variable is `spacePresses'

[ripsyhehe]

it is 0?

[bruh1cat]

Idk if this made it into 1 but 'spacePresses = spacePresses + 1;'

[dezercheap10]

i think they mean the 1st setProperty() in the onTimerCompleted() function

[ripsyhehe]

what do i do

[dezercheap10]

change the last function to this and see if it works:

function onTimerCompleted(tag, loops, loopsLeft)
if tag == 'NOMashes' and spacePresses < 10 then
removeLuaSprite('spacebar');
removeLuaText('mashhhhh');
setProperty('health', 0);
elseif tag == 'Mashh' and spacePresses > 10 then
removeLuaSprite('spacebar');
removeLuaText('mashhhhh');
setProperty('health', 1);
end
end

[ripsyhehe]

i gain health when i dont press space, why?

[ripsyhehe]

the first two times it works but on the third try it does that

[dezercheap10]

try removing one of the timers then this:

function onTimerCompleted(tag, loops, loopsLeft)
if tag == 'Mashh' and spacePresses < 10 then
removeLuaSprite('spacebar');
removeLuaText('mashhhhh');
setProperty('health', 0);
elseif tag == 'Mashh' and spacePresses > 10 then
removeLuaSprite('spacebar');
removeLuaText('mashhhhh');
setProperty('health', 1);
end
end

[ripsyhehe]

still does it

[dezercheap10]

may I see the current script?

[ripsyhehe]

spacePresses = 0;

function onCreate()
precacheImage('spacebar');
precacheSound('DODGE');
precacheSound('Dodged');
end

function onUpdate(elapsed)
if keyJustPressed('space') then
spacePresses = spacePresses + 1;
end
end

function onEvent(name, value1, value2)
if name == "DodgeEvent" then
cameraFlash('other', 'ff0000', 0.5, false)
runTimer('Mashh', 5);
makeAnimatedLuaSprite('spacebar', 'spacebar', 420, 200);
luaSpriteAddAnimationByPrefix('spacebar', 'spacebar', 'spacebar', 25, true);
luaSpritePlayAnimation('spacebar', 'spacebar');
setObjectCamera('spacebar', 'other');
scaleLuaSprite('spacebar', 0.70, 0.70);
addLuaSprite('spacebar', true);
makeLuaText('mashhhhh', 'MASH SPACE!!', 1300, 10, 450)
setTextColor('mashhhhh', '990000')
setTextSize('mashhhhh', 56)
setObjectCamera('mashhhhh', 'camOther')
addLuaText('mashhhhh')
cameraShake('hud', 0.01, 4.5)
cameraShake('game', 0.01, 4.5)
cameraShake('other',0.01, 4.5)
playSound('DODGE');
if keyJustPressed('space') then
spacePresses = spacePresses + 1;
end
end
end

function onTimerCompleted(tag, loops, loopsLeft)
if tag == 'Mashh' and spacePresses < 10 then
removeLuaSprite('spacebar');
removeLuaText('mashhhhh');
setProperty('health', 0);
elseif tag == 'Mashh' and spacePresses > 10 then
removeLuaSprite('spacebar');
removeLuaText('mashhhhh');
end
end

[dezercheap10]

honestly idk whats wrong

[frantastic24]

you didn't reset the variable when the event is called

[ripsyhehe]

HOW do i reset it? do i move the variable under on event?

[frantastic24]

Set it to 0

[ripsyhehe]

then theres no point to the event?
it wont do anything?

[frantastic24]

No, as the event is now it has no point because you can mash space at the start of the song and completely ignore the event
That is why you reset the variable to 0

[ripsyhehe]

its already 0....?

[frantastic24]

spacePresses = spacePresses + 1;

Are you just ignoring this line

[ripsyhehe]

yeah because if i change it to 0 the event wont do anything

[ripsyhehe]

i just fixed it

[ripsyhehe]

nvm it still doesnt work

[frantastic24]

yeah because if i change it to 0 the event wont do anything

I didn't tell you to change it 💀 that line is the reason you need to reset the value

[ripsyhehe]

dawg, then how do i reset it, ive been on this shi for days what do i change bruv

[frantastic24]

I've already told you twice

[ripsyhehe]

spacePresses = spacePresses + 0; ????

[frantastic24]

That's adding 0, it does nothing

[ripsyhehe]

its not spacePresses = spacePresses + 1; or spacePresses = 0; so what is it

[DabbinDude316B]

HeY tHaT’s My cOdE

[ripsyhehe]

yea thanks

spacePresses = 0;

          spacePresses = spacePresses + 1;
     end

     if name == "DodgeEvent" then
          cameraFlash('other', 'ff0000', 0.5, false)

          removeLuaText('mashhhhh');
     end
end

Try this.

[ripsyhehe]

doesnt work
also i updated the code
and i know its completely messy idk how else to fix it:

spacePresses = 0;
pressesCount = false;

function onUpdate(elapsed)
if keyJustPressed('space') and pressesConut then
spacePresses = spacePresses + 1;
end
end
