How can i create a HUD with moving parts that doesn't bug when buttons are clicked twice?

[jabeds]

I have recently created a HUD which when buttons on the HUD are clicked they move to another part of the screen. However do this I have used the following code.

llSetPos(llGetPos() - <1,0,0>);

stuff = llGetLocalPos();
stuff = llGetRootPosition();
llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() + (<2.5,0.0,0.0> * llGetLocalRot()));

The problem with this is that if someone clicks the button twice on accident, the HUD will repeat this action again meaning the object will move again and off the screen.

Is there anyway that i could add in steps so that if the button is clicked twice it wont move a second time. Or if there a better function that i should be using.

ps. I can't just use LLSetPos because these are cild prims not the route prim.

I don't think you're looking for a function, but a variable or detection method that controls the process flow of your script.

E.g.,

integer bIHaveBeenTriggered = FALSE;default{    touch_start(integer num_det)    {        if(bIHaveBeenTriggered == TRUE)        {             llOwnerSay("I've already been triggered.");        }        else        {             llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() + (<2.5,0.0,0.0> * llGetLocalRot())); //Copied from your script             bIHaveBeenTriggered = TRUE;        }    }}

 You could compare against llGetLocalPos to see whether or not the move has taken place, if appropriate. This would save you declaring a variable, but is likely to have a similar overhead.

I use something like that to prevent double clicks.

Edit: Sorry by the way. This must be not the one you are looking for. 

float last_touch_time;default{    touch_start(integer x)    {        if ((last_touch_time+1.0)<llGetTime())         {             llOwnerSay("Single touch.");             last_touch_time=llGetTime();        }    }}

Thankyou Very Much. This code works fine. I just had to add a 

bIHaveBeenTriggered = TRUE;

 At the end of the IF (not the else part) and all works fine.
