How To Prevent Continuous Shooting In A Single Long Button Pressed?

Hi there. Is there any way to prevent shooting when Character Button is held down? I want it to only shoot 1 bullet per press.

 

Hello, did you found a solution maybe? I'm having the same problem...

 

I ended up using Action Button instead of Character Button. Action Button has a built-in "1 action per touch" behavior. You then need to create an Action in your World which spawn the bullet. USe this Action in the Action Button.

 

That's my main problem, how to create an Action in World which spawns the bullet? I tried your method but with no luck because I don't know how to make an Action which spawns the bullet, I don't see any options for that.

Thanks in advance, your help means a lot.

 

Basically, what you need to do is
World:

1. Drag an image file into Buildbox and choose Action when the 'drag and drop wheel' appear. The image doesn't matter
2. Drag another image file that you want to be your bullet into Buildbox and choose Object when the 'drag and drop wheel' appear.
3. On the left pane, go to Action that you create from step 1 and click on Action Animation.
4. In the Action Animation window, on the left pane, find your Bullet object and drag it into the Animation Editor.
5. Then, you need to create a Spawner component for this object. Add velocity to this object as needed.

UI:

1. Create an Action Button
2. Set the Action attribute for this button to the Action that you created earlier

You can refer to the attached bbdoc for a working example (BB 2.3.7)
