Hi! So I have a project that if you(the player) touches the sprite for ten seconds, it will send you to a certain location.

but heres the problem, even if you touch the sprite for one second and just move on, after 10 seconds it will still send you to that location.

PLS HELP!!

(my code so far)

this is the sprite

when green flag clicked

forever

if <touching [ player] ?> then 

  
wait (10) secs
broadcast [ too_long!]
else

end

player code

when I receive [ too long!]

go to x: ((x)) y: ((y))

when green flag clicked

forever
set [ x] to (mouse x)
set [ y] to (mouse y)
end

Please help!

Also, it would be better to go to the mouse-pointer like this instead of using 2 variables:

Your issue is it teleports after 10 seconds, not if you touch it for 10 seconds.
You need to make a variable to keep track of the last time the player started touching the teleporter. I will call that variable “last”. It can be called anything. Please note this will not work if you reset the timer.
In a forever loop, check if the player is touching the teleporter. if it is not touching it, set last to the timer. If it is touching, check if timer is at least 10 more than last. If yes, teleport.

forever
if <touching [something v] ? > then
if <((last)+(10)) < (timer)> then
broadcast [teleport v]
end
else
set [last v] to (timer)
end
end

but how do you make it stop when you touch it?
