Stop Combo rather than wait for finish

[cifer42]

Completely new to scripting but testing through the examples.

I have quite a long combo setup that start at a button press, loops and then stops looping on another press. All is working fine but I would like the combo to stop completely rather than wait until its finished with the button press.

Code: Select all

main {
  if (event_active(BUTTON_16) ) bLoop = !bLoop; // invert the current state with each press TRUE<->FALSE
 
  if (bLoop) combo_run(rotation); // keep the combo playback active as long as bLoop == TRUE
}
 
 
combo rotation {
my combo about 25 different buttons in order
 
}

If I press button 16 the combo finishes and then does not loop again, can I press button 16 and stop the combo midway ?

thanks in advance

Maybe if you split up the combo and have a bunch of boolean guards? Someone might be able to think of a more simple way, but that's how I'd do it. While (button) and then chain the boolean guards, and while not button reset all guards.

I found another snippet to stop the combo.

Code: Select all

if (event_active(BUTTON_13) )
            combo_stop(start);

So the complete

Code: Select all

 main {
  if (event_active(BUTTON_13) ) bLoop = !bLoop; // invert the current state with each press TRUE<->FALSE
 
  if (bLoop) combo_run(start); // keep the combo playback active as long as bLoop == TRUE
 
 if (event_active(BUTTON_13) )
            combo_stop(start);
 };

Pressing the button again stops the combo.
