Pretty simple. I need to add a double click function to my game. I have not done this yet so I'm just looking for a few hints and maybe tips. Should I use the get_timer() function and see if the second click occurs within a short period of time. Will this work on all devices? Should I just use an alarm. Set it on the first click to a small number and check for that alarm > 0 with the "second" click.
Thanks in advance.

get_timer() works on all devices and is more precise than alarms so I would use that.

Thanks benetonmovie, I appreciate the reply. I will probably go with that.

On iOS and Android double tapping the screen results in registering a right click (unless it's changed in recent versions).
If so, you can disable this with the code device_mouse_dbclick_enable(false)

Interesting. Is there a double click feature that works on windows/mac ?? It seems pointless to disable the double-tap function only to reimplement it manually. However, if there is no double click function for win/mac then this would be the only course.
