I'm having trouble with Joypad input.

Code: Select all

A=GetJoystickButton[0];

if(A==1&&canjump==1&&canpress==1)
{
jump
canjump=0;
canpress=0;
}


The player keeps jumping. It's as if I have keydown set to repeat.
How do I tell it to only jump when I tap the button ?

theres are quite confusing to fix XD Try this
code:

Code: Select all

if (A==1) {
switch(canjump) {
case 0: canpress=0;
break;
case 1:
    if (canpress==1) {
   //do jump code
    canjump=0;
                            }
break;
}
}


That code might have a few bugs in it, but thats because it was untested and I didn't even open GE

that should work though.

Your code seems to be alright, it sets canpress and canjump to 0, so it shouldn't repeat.
So, this code is not the problem. Go and check what is the value of the canjump variable during the game. Create a text actor, and make it show the canjump value. I'm pretty sure there is something making canjump equal to 1 even when it shouldn't.

Tell me what you find out!
