slow mouse click detect

[indy2]

oh yeah , i am making little puzzle with two hotspot :

one button A for repeating click = increments by 1 a global variable
( myvar)

another button, B , for testing if myvar is = 8


if myvar = 8 go to frame " good code " ( 8 click on same button A )

if myvar <> 8 then go to frame " bad code "

---------
when i test the frame with the two buttons , if my mouse click on the button A is not very slow , myvar is not like to the number of mouse click , is less. i must click with 1 second interval

why ?

Indeed, I have noticed this problem aswell. I don't think that this can be changed at the moment.

Therefore if my game requires multiple clicks, I make sure that there is something that announces if the clicking was "valid", e.g. by adding a sound or change of image etc.

oh yes, i use the soundclick method for resolve the problem. thanks.

another question : when a local variable is destruct after use ?

is when the player go to another frames ?
is after when an hspot is clicked ?

thanks

Well, I think that GM is the best person to answer this question, but from this quote from the AM Helpfiles:
"Local variables are deleted as soon as the execution stops" I assume that the local variable is deleted after the player has gone to the next frame if it's about the command Action.GoToFrame.

Hi,

A local variable (i.e. a variable that is declared by a piece of VBScript code, and NOT by the "Variables" window of Adventure Maker) is deleted as soon as the said piece of VBScript code is ended.

For example, if you declare the variable in the code under the "advanced" tab of the "Hotspot Properties", the variable is created when the user clicks on the hotspot and it is deleted as soon as the last line of VBScript code has been executed (i.e. almost immediately).

As you know, if you want to create a variable that is not deleted, you must declare it from the "Variables" window.

Best regards,

P.S. I have added the slow mouse click problem to the list of bugs. Thanks for reporting it.
