How to have mouse down true only once each click?

[SYNYST3R1]

Like how Unity has getMouseButton and getMouseButtonDown. Is there something like getMouseButtonDown which doesn't return true again until I release the mouse and click again? Right now I am using game.input.mousePointer.isDown which is true as long as I am holding it down and I only want it to be true once.

game.input.onDown.add(doSomething, this);

function doSomething() {

  // will only ever be called once, when the the input is down

}

Thank you, that is exactly what I needed.

Idk if this warrants another post or not. How do you use onKeyDown and with a specific key?

The input examples folder shows some ways of doing this: https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/tree/dev/examples/input

upKey = game.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.UP);if (upKey.isDown) {}

[SYNYST3R1]

isDown will continually call whatever I have in the if statement. I only want to call it once each key press.

upKey = game.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.UP);

upKey.onDown.add(doSomething, this);

function doSomething() {

   ...

}

I get an error whenever I try that Object #<Object> has no method 'addKey'

It's in the dev branch only at the moment.

Still getting same error after getting the dev branch and an error from my animations now Cannot read property 'index' of null

Don't use the phaser.js from the build folder, use the source  (Luke )

Blah now PIXI is not defined. I am completely oblivious when it comes to javascript, so sorry for all the problems.

Heh, oh man. Ok look here you go: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/182996/phaser.js

 

This is a single-file version of Phaser, built about 5 minutes ago, so is all you need to include in your game (along with your source code of course).

 

Note that a LOT has changed between the current live version and this one.

Now I get 

1. Cannot read property 'uuid' of null

1. Cannot read property 'onDown' of undefined

Yes like I said, stuff has changed. I expect it's the way you're creating an animation, but it's impossible to know without seeing code.

[SYNYST3R1]

player.animations.add('walkDown', [0, 1, 2, 3], 10, true, false);

Figured out the error for onDown by myself, but still not sure what is different with the animations

Ah the issue is that you've got the "useNumericIndexes" flag set to false, but in your case you are using them. So either set the last parameter to 'true' or just don't include it at all, as it detects you're using an array of numbers automatically now anyway.

[SYNYST3R1]

Removing it didn't work, but setting to true it works perfectly now.
