Title: Questions
Post by: BS403 on March 12, 2008, 01:27:42 pm

How do I setup an event so it occurs every time a button is pressed not just the first time?

And which sexps do i use so the enemy won't notice/ attack you?

Don't have the exact syntax but it's something like this

everytime
  key-pressed
    <key>
  <whatever you want to do>
  key-reset
   <key>

Those sexp's are in the training section but can be used in a regular game.

Use protect-ship to make sure that the enemy don't notice you and unprotect-ship to get the opposite effect :)

Use key-reset-multiple or you'll get some very odd bugs. Not that you won't get very odd bugs anyway as the key-pressed SEXP is very temperamental about which keys it works with which you start using it in repeated events.
