action delay on click

Hello,

I have several object which i can slide from one position to another, but i don't want to move them by accidentally clicking on them. Is there a way i can script an event where i need to click an object for at least, lets say, one second to activate the movement of this object? Thanks in advance.

This is the movement script I use:

vector OpenPos = <224.8954, 26.555, 48.680>;


vector ClosedPos = <217.174, 26.555, 48.680>;



default
{
state_entry()
{
state closed;
}
}

state closed
{
touch_start(integer N)
{
state open;
}

state_entry()
{
llSetPos(ClosedPos);
}
}

state open
{
touch_start(integer N)
{
state closed;
}

state_entry()
{
llSetPos(OpenPos);
}
}

I am pretty much a scripting beginner so what I am about to say may not be helpful at all, but could you use another option in the right-click menu rather than a simple touch? After all if you were thinking of making it use a delay, doing the right-click shouldn't actually be a time inconvenience.

It seems the best option would be to use both touch_start() and touch_end(). So on touch_start you note the time, and on touch_end you check how much time has elapsed. E.g.

state whatever
{
    touch_start(integer num_detected)
    {
        timeStore = llGetGMTclock();
    }

    touch_end(integer num_detected)
    {
        float timeDiff;

        timeDiff = llGetGMTclock() - timeStore;
        
        if (timeDiff>2) state nextState;
    }
}

timeStore would be a global float, and it won't work at midnight UTC . Be sure to check the code.

The touch_end event is notorious about not firing a goodly percentage of the time. My advice would be to use the touch() event to record the first touch, then keep checking to see when the touch exceeds a set time limit. You would occasionally have to clear the variable you are checking so that it knows when to record the next "first touch" event.
