Camera system

[Zodetak]

Hey hive, I could use some help with making a dynamic camera system (gui based)

I have a basic idea for it, but my knowledge in gui is slightly noobish still.

• Example
  • Events
    • Player - (Player((Execution count of Untitled Trigger 002 <gen>))) Presses the Up Arrow key
  • Conditions Some type of timer that counts to 5
  • Actions set camera to this if the up botten is held for 5 seconds...
    • set camera to this if the up botten is held for 10 seconds...

Basically some type of condition that counts to certain times, and then for those times the key is held down it dose that action.

Is this sort of thing possible is GUI? +rep for help and all the brownie points i can offer

I need something that counts for how long a player holds a key down, and when that condition is meat, (a player holds the down button for 5 seconds, do this action) (a player holds the down button for 10 seconds do this action) Like a condition that knows when a player is holding a key down for x amount of time.

You can make a disabled periodic trigger which increases a variable. When a player presses the key, you enable it, when he releases the key (there's an event for that), you disable it, check the variable's value, do what you want and reinit your variable.

Sorry for not using Trigger tag but i've not WE just there.

• Press Key
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Up Arrow key
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on Key Timer Count <gen>

• Key Timer Count
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TimeKeyPressed = (TimeKeyPressed + 0.10)

• Release Key
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Releases the Up Arrow key
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off Key Timer Count <gen>
    • Game - Display to Player 1 (Red) the text: (You pressed the left arrow key during + (String(TimeKeyPressed)) + seconds.)
    • Set TimeKeyPressed = 0.00

I'm using a french WE, so I tried to translate it into english but i'm not sure these are the exact words. Also, the "Key Timer Count" should be disabled at start.
