Disable Input when Sleeping

[piano_wizz]

Good afternoon, I am trying to throttle input for a set amount of time, in short the application will play a sound, and display some images each time a key is pressed but I want to throttle this so that there is a pause. (IE the audio has time to finish)

I'm using love.timer.sleep(1000) but finding that it will pause and then will act like any key pressed in that 1 second sleep is pressed each second after the sleep has ended. I want to know if there is a way to disable input while sleep is active so that key presses in that time are not registered.

Thanks in advance, Dan.

love.timer.sleep is horrible, it stops code execution, and so effectively hangs your game. You should check whether it's ready wherever you check for keypresses. In your case you probably want to do something like

Code: Select all

if source:isStopped() then
    doEpicThings()
end
