Hi! I am posting today to ask a question to the wonderful scratch community!

I have created a clicker, and it either triggers when the space bar is pressed, or the button on the screen is pressed.
(Here's my clicker: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/471567683)

Whenever you hold down on the space bar, though, it acts like an auto-clicker and continues clicking repeatedly.

I was wondering if anyone could help me fix this problem!

Thanks.

when you take your finger off the space bar, does it stop auto clicking?

Yes, it does, but what I want to happen is:
Every time the space bar is clicked, only add ONE click.

Thanks for replying so quick, and if you have a solution, please reach out

Try doing this,

when [space v] key pressed
change [points v] by (1)
wait (1) secs

Thanks! I'll try that, but then if the user manages to click the space bar more than once in a second, it wouldn't work..
Would there be any other possible solution?

That doesn't work mate, if you hold down the space bar it will continue to auto-click just with a one second delay between clicks

Hi.

Greetz,

Thank you so much! I will surely give you credit in my project!

I have pressed 125 times space bar in just 5 seconds. I hope you will visit spacebar counter tool and break my record. For visit click spacebar counter

Often people click more than once a second meaning this method would be considered slow.
Why don't you use:

when [space] key pressed
change [points] by (1)
wait until <not <key [space] pressed?>>

but what if i want a cooldown between the presses

You can use the timer to measure the time since last press:

when [space v] key pressed
if <(timer) > [0.5]> then // cooldown of 0.5 seconds
change [points v] by (1)
reset timer
wait until <not <key [space v] pressed?>>
end

The wait until block in the example can modified depending on the behaviour desired.
The current example being inside means the key must be released if the points were increased, still allowing for someone to hold the key until the cooldown is done. If outside, the key must always be released. It could also be removed entirely if you just want to hold the key and have the points change every time the cooldown is done.

here is it

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [space v] pressed?> then
change [score v] by (1)
wait until <not <key [space v] pressed?>>
end
end
