D-pad navigate menu ??

Question

i am looking for a GetAxisDown function, i have tryed a lot of ways to do it, but i can´t get it to work

i am trying to add the D-pad to my menu system, the problem is, it speeds through the menu, here is a video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1THQ54DCOVQ

At a glance, maybe you should yield for x time here:

 if (menudown == false && Input.GetAxis("axis7") > 0)
         {
             menudown = true;
             return false;
         }

Something like:

 if (menudown == false && Input.GetAxis("axis7") > 0)
         {
             menudown = true;
 return yield new WaitForSeconds(0.25f); //sorry, don't recall java version
             return false;
         }

Basically the idea is to wait x seconds before switching menudown to allow the cursor movement on the menu.

Script error: Update() can not be a coroutine.

i can`t use yield ind Update ()

No, you'll need to use a new method and call it from update. It would work similar to what you have now, but you'll need something like:

     Function Update(){
     
     //...
     
     StartCoroutine($$anonymous$$ove$$anonymous$$enuDown());
     
     }

And then:

     function $$anonymous$$ove$$anonymous$$enuDown(){
     
     if (menudown == false && Input.GetAxis("axis7") > 0)
             {
                 menudown = true;
     yield WaitForSeconds(0.25f); //sorry, don't recall java version
                 return false;
             }
     }

That's not tested, but it should move you in the right direction. Basically, you want your code to refuse to take any more movement input on the menu for x amount of time. How much time will depend on your menu and what you think makes a smooth transition. You'll have to experiment until you find the best amount of time to wait.

yes, only problem i have now it that Time.timeScale = 0.0, os i can`t use WaitForSeconds

Answer 3

Answer by JonathanGeoCox · May 31, 2013 at 02:14 PM

Some controller interfaces don't seem to handle KeyUps and KeyDowns correctly (e.g., Ouya). Since your code is running in Update and the ButtonDown code appears to be being interpreted as simply Button, it being called once each frame. You'll have to add in your own bool checks to control ButtonUp and ButtonDown behavior, or add a timer so that the code can only get called once every so often.
