Specify a button to loop?

[Citrine]

This topic is more or less just to confirm whether or not this is possible. I've got a few games where it's useful to press a single button in a loop. I thought it'd be useful to set an int to whatever button was pressed next, then loop that. The idea for the script was to press dpad down, then press whichever button I would want to loop, but have made little progress (most I've got so far was the script ending after pressing dpad down, but a regular loop script for one button is fine lol). The code below is essentially all that I know to work so far, so any help is appreciated, even if this isn't possible

Code: Select all

 
int toggle;
int button;
 
main {
 
    button = -1;
 
    if(event_press(14))
    {  
        //Logic to specify button to loop
        toggle = !toggle;
    }
 
    if(toggle)
        combo_run(Loop);
}
 
combo Loop {
    set_val(button, 100);
    wait(50);
    set_val(button, 0);
    wait(50);
}

Welcome.

If we do a while loop and watch for event_press we can store it to the button variable.

Something like this:

Code: Select all

int i; 
int toggle;
int button;
int time_to_loop; 
main {
    if(event_press(14)) {  
        toggle = !toggle;
        if(!toggle) time_to_loop = 0;
    }
    else if(toggle) {
        i = 0; // start button 0
        if(!time_to_loop) {
            while(i < 24) {
                if(event_press(i)) {
                    button = i;
                    time_to_loop = 1;
                    break;
                }
                i++;
            }
        }
        else {
            combo_run(Loop);
        }
    }
}
 
combo Loop {
    set_val(button, 100);
    wait(50);
    set_val(button, 0);
    wait(50);
}

Works like a charm, thanks!
