How long a button has been held?

Drak · **Author**

I'm trying to fire an event when the Attack button is held down for 4 seconds.
How can I do this?

Code:

client_PreThink(id)
{
    if(!is_user_alive(id))
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    
    if(pev(id,pev_button) & IN_ATTACK))
    {
              RunEvent(); // I want this called 4 seconds after holding the attack button.
    }
}

Code:

public client_PreThink(id)
{
    if(!is_user_alive(id))
        return;
    
    static Float:pressTime[33];
    
    if(~pev(id, pev_button) & IN_ATTACK)
    {
        pressTime[id] = 0.0;
    }
    else if(!pressTime[id])
    {
        pressTime[id] = get_gametime();
    }
    else if(get_gametime() < pressTime[id] + 4.0)
    {
        RunEvent();
    }
}

How about this, so you can avoid client_prethink()?

Code:

register_forward(FM_CmdStart, "fwdCmdStart");

 
public fwdCmdStart(id, uc_handle, uc_seed)
{
    if(!is_user_alive(id))
        return FMRES_IGNORED;
 
    static iButton;
    iButton = get_uc(uc_handle, UC_Buttons);
    
    static Float:pressTime[33];
    
    if(~iButton & IN_ATTACK)
    {
        pressTime[id] = 0.0;
    }
    else if(!pressTime[id])
    {
        pressTime[id] = get_gametime();
    }
    else if(get_gametime() < pressTime[id] + 4.0)
    {
        RunEvent();
    }
    return FMRES_IGNORED;
}

    {
        RunEvent();
    }
    return FMRES_IGNORED;
}

because that wouldn't work?

and how about:

Code:

    else if(!pressTime[id])
    {
        pressTime[id] = get_gametime() + 4.0;
    }
    else if(get_gametime() < pressTime[id])
    {
        RunEvent();
    }
