Key Press Delay (as in, forcing one)

[DeadHeartProductions]

Greetings, everyone. I hope everyone is having a stress-free holiday season. Thanks to everyone that stops by to help!

I was wondering, if there's a way to force either a momentary delay, or force a re-press of a key, for either the RELOAD or ZOOM functions, in DECORATE, other than having a long animation sequence?

For example, if I only wanted to have about 3 frames of animation for raising a weapon into ZOOM mode, if the ZOOM key is held down, the ZOOM (and unzoom) animation plays over and over very quickly. Is there some way to make that ZOOM animation play once, enter the ZOOM state, and STAY there until the player releases the ZOOM key and presses it again?

I hope you all have a wonderful day. Thanks again!

The way I solved this was adding a state that the Zoom state goes to at the end which loops indefinitely as long as the zoom button is pressed:

Code: Select all

  ZoomEnd:
	TNT1 A 1 A_WeaponReady(WRF_NOPRIMARY|WRF_NOSECONDARY) //Still make the weapon bob
	TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIf(GetPlayerInput(MODINPUT_BUTTONS,-1)&BT_ZOOM,"ZoomEnd") //Loop this state for the duration of the button press
	Goto Ready //Go back to ready once zoom is released

This will also work for Reload and User states by changing BT_ZOOM with either BT_RELOAD or BT_USERX, where X is 1-4.
