clicking in an even rhythm

[waxen sphinx]

any ideas on how i would go about making a system that tracks if someone m1s in an even rhythm/at a set time kinda like a rhythm game

[mossy pond]

Like this?

[waxen sphinx]

Yes exactly that

[mossy pond]

I set up a timer after the attack animation plays to set a bool to true then to false
If the next attack is played while that variable is true, it will play the sound and special effects

[waxen sphinx]

any idea on how i would go about tracking if the player clicked within an even timing between each attack?

[mossy pond]

Same way you triggered the attack

Only this time check if the bool is true or not

use ticks

[stone mountain]

Either animation ended or

Use tick()

So you have a cool down, last used etc

[stone mountain]

You could alternatively put animation markers in the animation

[waxen sphinx]

I can use os.clock instead right

[waxen sphinx]

No animations yet just trying to get the system down

[stone mountain]

Yep same shit more or less

If I was on my PC I'd type you something

Maybe soon

--debounce not needed but good measure
local coolDown = 0.5 --seconds
local lastAction = 0 --needed for first time use
local function testCoolDown()
    --if our action is faster than our cooldown, return end.
    if os.clock() - lastAction < coolDown then return end
    
    if whateverInput then
        lastAction = os.clock() --update our current use in seconds
        --do action here
        
    end
end
