button press state

May 02, 2013

I'm preparing a simulation for illuminated keypad presses.  Is there a way to simulate a press and release with two different triggers?  I want to show a highlight of the number pressed on the simulated keypad for the press and then for the release, I want to have another trigger to change yet another part of the screen.

You could add an object with no fill and a glowing edge around each number, then trigger the object to appear/disappear based on a trigger using the 'when user presses the 'x' key function. 

I had a go at making something for you that also captures whether the user enters the code correctly. Download the file and have a go - the code is 1234, so you'll need to type 1, 2, 3, 4 on your keyboard. 

Hopefully you can see how I've made it, but if not shoot me a question if you need any help.

Best, Rich
