Does anyone know what is the scripting code (or some similar example in another script) for when you touch and hold down the key for a certain amount of seconds, then it performs some action? I want to do something like this, but how do I add in that delay? From: someone default { touch_start(integer total_number) { if (llDetectedKey( 0 ) == llGetOwner()) { llOwnerSay("Say something to owner here: AFTER OWNER has held down key for x seconds."  ; // Or do other things for OWNER here. } } |

I think you could start a timer on touch_start. Then if the toucher releases before the timer event you can kill the timer. From: someone touch_start(integer num) { llSetTimerEvent(10); } touch_end(integer num) { llSetTimerEvent(0); } timer() { llSetTimerEvent(0); llOwnerSay("Say something to owner here: AFTER OWNER has held down key for x seconds." ; } |

Or perhaps record the llGetTime() of the leading edge detected in touch_start(), then subtract it from the time of the trailing edge detected in touch_end(), and branch depending on magnitude of difference.
No idea which is more efficient in practice, though.
[Edit: I should have mentioned that the two approaches differ in effect, this one waiting until the button is released for anything to happen, the other approach triggering at timeout, so the choice probably depends less on performance and more on which behavior is more intuitive.]

You can search for "press & hold" for my implementation of this for the left mouse click. There will be some differences for doing this with the keyboard, however, and there will some code you won't need (such as the access code).
