I made a little example about the game mode where you have to press a key quite fast many times (I’ve suffered it in Dead Space, and have seen it in a game about Jurassic Park, and NFS: The Run):

That’s cool, I wonder if it’s possible implement this forcing the player to repeat the action, because in your example it’s possible to just hold the “E” button to achieve the task.
Strange… I can’t, and I’m sure I used the “Trigger once” condition properly 
Yup, can’t confirm either. Which version of GD do you use and did you mess with events?
You’re right, the ‘trigger once’ action do the magic. I check the project once again today and I noticed a lot more of things in the event window that I don’t see yesterday like the green comments and many other actions, and the example works fine right now. I guess if it was a project load malfunctioning, I open it yesterday after been working in a project for more than a day, just putting to sleep my laptop on the spare time. In my experience, sometimes GD is getting some wacky after a while. I’m using the latest version of GD.
