One mouse click more than one control event?

[Estelle Pienaar]

I have a little script that should perform a function when the left mouse button is clicked. However, no matter how quickly I try to click the left mouse button, the control event is triggered at least 3  times per qulick. If I keep the left mouse button pressed down, I get an even greater amount of triggered events. How can I change my code, so that the control event will only be triggered once per mouse click?

 

key ownerK;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {

        ownerK = llGetOwner();
        
    }
  attach(key id)
    {
           if (id)     
        {
            if (id != ownerK)
            llResetScript(); 
        
            else
            llRequestPermissions(id, PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);
        }
        else
            llReleaseControls( );
         
    }

run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        if(PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS & perm)
        {
                llTakeControls(CONTROL_LBUTTON, TRUE, TRUE);                 
                
        }   

    }
    control (key id, integer level, integer edge)
    {
        Detected = [];
        llOwnerSay("Debugging: I have been clicked");
        
    }
}

Estelle we can test for mouse_down, mouse_up and mouse_press

example to test for mouse_down

   

 control (key id, integer level, integer edge)
 {
   integer mouse_down = level & edge;
      
   if (mouse_down)
   {
       ... do something ...    
   }
}

look at the wiki example for the others

If you look at this page: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Control, then you see that there is a number describing LCONTROL: 0x10000000. It is an hexadecimal number which you can convert to decimal with Windows calculator in programmer mode. So it is 268435456 in decimal. When you click the mouse button you will get that number in level and edge, when you release the mouse button level will be 0. Note that this works only because you listen to only one button, if you were listening to more controls you would have to check the states with boolean operations as described on the wiki.

Thank you very much, for making this evident. It is rather poorly explained in the wiki. There are these integers in the example script, but not at all explained in a clear way. However when you said it, I understood it in an instant.

yes it can be a bit unclear in the beginning

with the wiki code example the variables names are: start, end, held and untouched

which is clear as mud until we get better at reading mud 

when we think in terms of key_down, key_press and key_up, as in your case mouse_down, mouse_press and mouse_up then is lots more readable. Particularly if we have some previous experience in tools like Visual Basic, Delphi, C#, etc
