differencing short mouse click from long mouse click

hi, i've a problem to make difference between a short mouse click and a long one.

here is my code:

 

I also tried the simple code in the function update():

but it seems that unity does not make difference, starting MouseButtonDown and MouseButton at the same time.
What i need, is to wait 0.2s during a click before doing stuff from the long click

 

Your conditions are wrong I think. Try this :

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function Update()
3. {
4.     if ( Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0) )
5.     {
6.            temps = Time.time ;
7.     }
8.  
9.     if ( Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)  (Time.time - temps) < 0.2 )
10.    {
11.         // short Click
12.    }
13.  
14.     if ( Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)  (Time.time - temps) > 0.2 )
15.    {
16.         // Long Click
17.    }
18. }
19.  

Untested but it should work...

You don't need the click Boolean if you use GetMouseButtonUp and GetMouseButtonDown instead of GetMouseButton. In your code the main mistake was to reset temps every frame when the mouse button was down instead of only when the button was actually pressed.

 

Yes but i need to do something during the long click and not after.

if ( Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0) (Time.time - temps) > 0.2 )
{
// Long Click
}
should work only after a long click and not during the long click as i need.

 

Ok then ...

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function Update()
3. {
4.     if ( Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0) )
5.     {
6.            temps = Time.time ;
7.            click = true ;
8.            longClickDone = false ;
9.     }
10.  
11.     if ( click  !longClickDone  (Time.time - temps) > 0.2 )
12.    {
13.         // long click effect
14.         longClickDone = true ;
15.    }
16.  
17.     if ( Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0) )
18.    {
19.        click = false ;
20.        if ( (Time.time - temps) < 0.2 )
21.        {
22.             // short click effect
23.        }
24.    }
25. }
26.  

Still untested... but should do the trick...

You might not need the longClickDone Boolean, if your long click effect must occur every update while the button is still pressed...

 

tried, but does not work, it seems that longClickDone, is never set to true to enter the second if.

 

!longClickDone is equivalent to longClickDone == false so there's no need for longClickDone to be set to true to enter the second if...

Is your long click effect something that happen just once or over time ?

 

it's strange, seems that Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0) (short) and Input.GetMouseButton (0) (long) are both true at the same Time.time.

 

yes but nothing happens when i trie your code for the long click

 

In my code, I never use GetMouseButton(0)...

 

because as soon as longClickDone = true ; in the second if, it exits it. I use the left click hold to move the character controller in update. the player doesnot move because of longClickDone = true in the second if. if i delete this line, it moves, but the short click not.

 

in mine, yes

 

Well... i can't help you if you pick some of my code, mingle it a bit with yours and just tell me it doesn't work with no further explanations...

I told in you my second answer that you might not need the longClickDone Boolean, if your long click effect must occur every update while the button is still pressed. That's obviously the case. So...

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function Update()
3. {
4.     if ( Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0) )
5.     {
6.            temps = Time.time ;
7.            click = true ;
8.     }
9.  
10.     if ( click  (Time.time - temps) > 0.2 )
11.    {
12.         // long click effect
13.    }
14.  
15.     if ( Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0) )
16.    {
17.        click = false ;
18.  
19.        if ( (Time.time - temps) < 0.2 )
20.        {
21.             // short click effect
22.        }
23.    }
24. }
25.  

 

does not work for short click

it seems that (Time.time - temps) < 0.2 never happens
i tried using print (Time.time - temps), its increasing ever, as if temps = 0.... strange no ?

 

I just copy-pasted my previous code in a script. It works. So I guess my help ends here ^^

 

here is the print("click start" + (Time.time -temps)) return for a simple click: (i put click start, in the first if, the click hold in the second if, and click exit in the third)


click start0
click hold20.55229
click exit20.55229

 

I'd use while(...) control structure for mouse check, and timer tests inside it.

 

Yoooohooooo it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

actually i forgot this at the beginning :

var temps: float;

I don't know why, but unity did not print the error !!!!
Argh i lost the afternoon on it.
Thanks a lot Krobill

Here is my final code to put in the function update : and don't forget the "private var temps: float;" at the begining lol

 

Thank you guys, this was load of help

 

How can i like fill power with mouse click? Like 8 ball games.I clicking mouse button filling power bar.

 

Thank you! Works great
