i am making a game where if the w key if pressed 5 times, its function will stop working. ive tried a lot of ways to get it working, but it hasn't worked so far. how can i fix it?

Hi there!

First you'll have to add this:

when [w] key pressed
wait until <not <key [w] pressed?>>
change (times w has been pressed) by (1)

You can remove the wait until if you want it to change when you hold it too.

And then in whatever function the w key's used for.

when [w] key pressed
if <(times w has been pressed) < [5]> then
broadcast [Put what the input was going to do here!]
end

what do i do for

(times w has been pressed)

is it a custom block?

You use the same variable as you did here

If you don't know how to make a variable however, just click on the variables section and click “Make a Variable”
Then you put what the W key's original function was into the box

how do i make a block circle like the one i quote?
edit: nvm

Ooh, thanks for clarifing!
Using the picture I'll show you, if you've created the variable “times w has been pressed” there'll be a little cirle with the text where “1”, “2”, “3”, “4” and “my variable” are. If you haven't yet, the picture also shows you where you can create the variable, just click “Make a variable” and then fill out what it says.
you can then just drag that into where you'd put a normal input like instead of

move (5) steps

You'll put it like this

move (variable name here!) steps

its not working. the w key is supposed to make the size of a sprite bigger, but only to an extent.

Oh! In that case, you can do a different thing instead of the variable mumbo-jumbo I've been giving you.

when [w] key pressed
if <(size) < [200 or whatever you want the max size to be]> then
change size by (10)
end

thank you, but its still not working

Glad to have helped! ^v^

the part that isnt working is when i size it down using the s key. but when i do, i cant resize up becuase of the script i just put in

Does the shrink input look something like this? This works for me

when [s] key pressed
if <[100 or whatever you want the minimum size to be] < (size)> then
change size by (-10)
end

yes it does, but when i try to make it grow, it doesnt work because of the script

i found out! thank you for the help!

Are you sure you have your “greater than” block correctly placed?
If it’s like

<(size) < [100 or whatever you want the minimum size to be]>

It will not work, be sure it’s like this

< [100 or whatever you want the minimum size to be] < (size)>

i fixed it, thank you!

Great to hear! No problem!

nvm

Hey everybody who can see this, i am making an egg hatching game and i need some code telling me how to not let the player click something without hiding it for a short amount of time.

P.S
I want to make a function when you click the egg, you get luck, and not actually hatching the egg repeatedly. I have an idea about invisible cursors…

@nyamandlove and whoever finds this
