[RESOLVED] Detecting when key is not being pressed anymore

Post by Nife »

Guys, simple and dirty:

I'm using the joystick.isDown to move an object, but the detection happens extremely fast - I need a condition for when a certain key is released after being pressed.

Thanks.

Um, I don't think that code does what you think it does.

Here, the global variable controllerName is shadowed by the first argument to love.joystickpressed, so you can't access it inside that callback.
Help us help you: attach a .love.

Not to mention the first argument of love.joystickpressed is the joystick index, not its name.

You are right, my apologies for that - removed that bit of stupidity from the post.
