Buttons in AVS

[Warrior of the Light]

It's questionable if this belongs in the presets subforum or in the AVS forum, but I didn't start this thread only about the preset, but more about the functionality.

A lot of people have already worked this out, but here's my way of doing this:

You don't want the button to flip per frame when you hold the mouse button for multiple frames, what would happen if you would simply use button=getkbmouse(3); I solved this by generating a pulse when the mouse-button is pressed.

This pulse normally would only trigger the button for 1 frame. You want it to switch per pulse. Here's how I solved it all (button is reg02).

code:


xm=getkbmouse(1);

ym=getkbmouse(2);

rm=getkbmouse(3);

mc=if(below(xm,-.9)&above(xm,-1)&above(ym,.9)&below(ym,1)&rm,1,0);

mcpulse=if(equal(mcold,mcnew),0,if(equal(mcold,0),1,0));

mcold=var;

var=if(equal(mc,0),mcpulse,1);

mcnew=var;

mcswitch=if(mcpulse,bnot(mcswitch),mcswitch);

reg02=mcswitch;

Example preset is attached (will most likely be in my new pack).
The button appears when you move the mouse over the left and bottom of the preset ( xpos < -0.9 or ypos < 0.9 ) Click it and the preset changes. Also explained in the comment.
