I found a workaround, not sure how solid it will be for the project behind:
a) during the first 29 frames I process any character coming from the key buffer, I enter the status "KEY_PRESS" and "KEY_DOWN"
b) after 30 frames I check if the key-character is in the buffer, so I keep the status "KEY_DOWN" if its not in the buffer we are in the state "KEY_RELEASED"
c) after 30 frames I check every 7th frame if the character is in the key buffer and stay in "KEY_DOWN" status or if not change to "KEY_RELEASED"
Example over here: https://fuzearena.com/forum/topic/947/re-use-sounds-from-the-soundfx-generator-with-the-usb-keyboard

That's great - Thankyou!

It's not a big difference. Just a good idea to get in to the habit of writing functions to do specific things, rather than lumping it into your game logic, as @PB____ has said.

Really, the benefit comes when you pass it an array. For example:

function changeElement( list, row, column, value ) var newList = list newList[row][column] = value return newList myArray = [ [1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1] ] // change row 1 column 3 of myArray to value 10 myArray = changeElement( myArray, 1, 3, 10 )

Now you could pass any old two dimensional array into that function and it will give you back a modified version of that array with the new value. You could update the old one with this, as in the example, or you could create a copy, etc.

This way you wouldn't need to bother writing the array access every time you wanted to change something. Just call your function.

If you're going to do the same type of thing more than once, it's generally best practise to make a function to do it, and pass the things you need into it.

Of course there's always more than one way to skin the proverbial cat. Sometimes it won't be worth bothering with!

Looks great, only wish I could help.

@LinkCraft02 No problem!

Thank you so much - that really explains it well !

@gilman just a matter of practice and calculating how far or high your character to jump using the grid reference on the editor

@Something There are no built in functions to store a rotation in a 4 element Fuze vector. However I have had much success using a quaternion representation to store 3D rotations in Fuze's 4 element vectors.

I use the following code as a blackbox to store and manipulate rotations as vectors in all my shared programs:

// Concatenate 2 Quaternions (rotations) Function QuatMult(a, b) vector c = a.w * b + b.w * a + Cross(a, b) c.w -= Dot(a, b) Return c // Rotate a vector v by a unit quaternion q Function QuatRot(q, v) Return QuatMult(QuatMult(q, v), {-q.x, -q.y, -q.z, q.w}) Function AxisAngleToQuat(Axis, Angle) float Mag = Length(Axis) If Mag > 0 Then Axis *= Sin(Angle / 2) / Mag Axis.w = Cos(Angle / 2) Else Axis = {0, 0, 0, 1} EndIf Return Axis

You can create them from an axis-angle representation, combine them in any order and apply them to any point/vector.

To apply the rotation to a 3D model in Fuze, you can call ObjectPointAt() to reset the rotation followed by RotateObject() with an axis-angle representation.

I do this in my 'Rubik's Cube Toy' program, using the formula:

axis = {q.x, q.y, q.z} mag = Length(axis) angle = ATan2(mag, q.w) * 2

while taking care to not call RotateObject() if mag is 0.

All of these formulas I obtained from Wikipedia:

@Dave good point didn't think of that, copy and past time ;)

@SwitchedOn yes thats what im after pretty much, its only to control one sprite

Pianofire mate, it's really not that important it's only a minor project I'm tinkering with.

@pobtastic I don't know if it's a different style of code your using that's not compatible with my set up il take another look maybe just put something in the wrong place knowing me

Maybe a way of incorporating the new flags in maps or named boxes would be a preferred way

@pianofire remove sprite did it :) iv now got title screen to menu then game and end screen it finally clicked

Ok thank you guys and no I have no idea how I did that

You guys are the best thanks for all the help

@pianofire thats not to say i haven't learnt and il come back to this when it does click
thanks man, about to submit my game jam entry....

Had a look at my code and thrust was 1/10.
Here's a video of the code and what it should look like. Max_Thrust = 6 it can be larger

@Richard i need to set up a test map and complete the rest of the statements/animations i'l see how it go's
as for the delay i think i can change the placement of the sprite for the first 2 frames so it doesn't screw the rest of the controls to get the delay
