I've made a button so when you press on it, it makes an object, but when ever i press it it makes more than 1. its always a random number of the object. if your still not understanding what i mean is when i press my button its suppose to make 1 object but instead it makes 34 objects.

heres the code I'm using:

Left Pressed (Mouse)

instance_create(x,y,object)

i hope you can help me


heres the file (.gmk)



its an rts just for your information

Controls:
left click - select unit/buillding (units do not have a select circle)
right click - move selected units to point

note. there is a number below the castle which is the number of people.

Put in Stepevent

if mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left)
{
instance_create(x,y,object)
}

Or Change Left Button to Left Pressed.

I tried both of those and its still happening.

thanks for the help anyway.

[templargfx]

//CREATE EVENT
pressed = 0;

//STEP
if (mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left) == true)
  {
  if (pressed == 0)
    {
    instance_create(x,y,object);
    pressed = 1;
    }
  }
if (mouse_check_button_released(mb_left) == true)
  {
  if (pressed == 1)
    {
    pressed = 0;
    }
  }

that should ensure only 1 is created

Then try the event LEFT RELEASE or LEFT BUTTON.

Can you post your Gmk or Gm6. So we can see it not working? Or what your doing

[rude guss]

//CREATE EVENT
pressed = 0;

//STEP
if (mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left) == true)
  {
  if (pressed == 0)
    {
    instance_create(x,y,object);
    pressed = 1;
    }
  }
if (mouse_check_button_released(mb_left) == true)
  {
  if (pressed == 1)
    {
    pressed = 0;
    }
  }

that should ensure only 1 is created

Should Be Fixed... In the castle step event you made it make heaps of object7 on top of eachother. That means u only see one so when u click it u see one but Gm clicks all of the hundreds at once .. That is why.

Ok I fixed it. Simple. In object6 step even add and if statement before you create instance of object7.
The if statement should be if image_index = 0.
What is happening is when you select the castle, it is constantly greating the object7 (button) so when you click it you are actually clicking several buttons at once.
Hope that helps you.
