Mouse click and Mouse double click in the same button?

[jose maria]

Hello,

I want to set a button that performs two different actions depending on a single or double mouse click.
The problem is that the single mouse click triggers always. With the single and double mouse clicks.

Is it possible to isolate both actions?. I have tried changing the order of the actions but it does not work.

Hi jose maria,
Yes, you can do this, you need a button, a timer and a variable.

Please see the attached project.
1) The skin has a variable, var_click, true/false set to false.
2) The timer, SingleClickTimer has the action Deactivate, Toggle Element Position, 100px with the action filter to only do this if the variable, var_click = false.

So that's the setup. The "Button" which will be clicked or double-clicked has the actions:
• Mouse Click, Set Variable Value, false, var_click
• Mouse Double-Click, Set Variable Vale, true, var_click
• Mouse Clock, Set Value, 0.5, SingleClickTimer
• Mouse Double-Click, Toggle Element Position, 100, MoveTwo

So on a single click, the variable is at false and 0.35 seconds is added to the timer.
When the timer deactivates, it will trigger the action Deactivate, Toggle Element Position, 100, MoveOne, the action filter states the variable has to be false for this to happen.
So the text box, MoveOne moves.

On Double click, the variable is set to true and action, Toggle Element Position, 100, MoveTwo, triggers, so the text box MoveTwo, moves.
As the variable is set to true, the Deactivate action in the timer can not trigger due to the action filter.
