All you need is a “Trigger once while true”. Also use another key. F11 is already hooked.
I thought of using a key combination, specifically alt+enter, however I can’t find the enter key as an option for inputs in Gdevelop, unless there’s an alternate name i’m not aware of.
The identifier is “Return”, from “Carriage Return”+ “Line feed” on typewriters.
Is it ok if you can explain what you said?
In Gdevelop, the key is not called Enter, it is called Return.
You want to use toggle variable action
To switch between two states using ONE key/button/object or whatever
There is no easy way to do 2 different things with one SOMETHING
That is why toggle variable is your way to go
Where if it is in one state it will switch to other state
So there will be never issue of it looping or switching to wrong state
Assuming you use trigger once
oh thanks for the info 
Buddy your on the wrong page
Are you sure about it?
Just because you don’t understand something
Does not mean someone else is wrong
It would have helped if you had briefly explained that you’re showing how to de/activate full screen by toggling a boolean value upon a key release.
For newcomers to GDevelop, they’d be scratching their heads to why you were using sound events when the question was about full screen activation.
When we try to solve someones problem we assume that said person have some knowledge
So we are not going into full detail with explaining even to newcomers some stuff
For example event is build from condition which is what you have on the left and action which is what you have on the right
We never have any problem explaining in full detail what is what and how to find/use it
At least i never seen any1 here refuse to explain anything including me
So
If newcomer will see i am doing something to audio on this screenshot
Instead of noticing i am using same clickable button to do two different things
I will have no problem explaining exactly what is happening on that screenshot and why
But to look at it objectively
Am i not doing exactly same thing as you and everyone else here?
Which is assuming that person we try to help have some knowledge already
And expecting if something is not clear they will simply ask for clarification
I edited my post so there is no confusion for any1 who will see that screenshot
But just to be fair
Out of your last few activities
It would help if you would explain how to input text into what layer we want to select where for newcomer all they would see is selectable list
It would help if you explain that world time scale
Is not RWT
It would help if you explain what events are
It would help if you explain what are global variables and external events and how at beginning of the scene works
I have much respect for you Mr
So do not take it as a attack
I only wish you to be fair here
Look at these 4 posts of yours
And tell me that you avoid letting newcomers getting confused by your replies with providing enough information so newcomer will understand them right away?
Just like you are expecting me to do so right here
And you do not expect/assume that someone have some knowledge already and simply will ask if something is not clear just like i did with my screenshot?
And that was the thrust of my post. It wasn’t a criticism, because your solution is actually quite clean and concise, and it’s probably a method I’ll use myself in future projects. It was a suggestion on how to improve the answer. Which you did with the update.
And as for my last few activities, I nearly always explain at what I perceive to be the level of understanding of the poster. I’ll be brief with those who appear to know what they’re on about, and I’ll explain in a little more depth to those who come across as newbies.
But, we derail. OP has a number of solutions, with yours probably being the better of them.
Er… what just happened?
I just wanted you to understand that it is not about me being lazy or you nitpicking
BUT it is about we all do the same thing more or less
We all assume users here have some knowledge
I assumed OP getting this far would understand what i am showing
If not i would be asked for clarification
And i did paste this screenshot tons of times on gdev discord
Never explaining what it does
Because as soon as ppl see toggle variable exist
They automatically understand toggle is way to go instead of set to
Never needed to explain what is the difference
Well i was asked few times about it
But never by a person who already did have some knowledge
It does not matter to me did you try to criticize me or not
Cause i am all open for it and to old to get angry about it
I just wanted you to understand that is something we all do here
And well how i was doing on gdev discord for almost 2 years
And about activities
I always give very rich explanations when i feel it is needed
Like to the point it becomes wall of text and being too long
For example
And what do we have here?
And
There is no improving answers here
I can’t go full wall of text each time same as you
The same way we can’t provide each time explanation to what is difference between condition and action by ourselves if not asked for it
And from pasted events someone who ask question we see
We do try to guess level of knowledge person have
And so we shorten our answers hoping said person will understand it or if not like i said will simply ask for clarification
So same as you and any1 here i will not also be able to always put fully detailed answer explaining everything
@Yhac10 misunderstanding we try to clarify
I am making sure MrMen get why i pasted only screenshot without any clarification
MrMen is making sure i would provide better help in the future
Where confusion comes from the fact i assumed you do posses enough knowledge to understand my screenshot
And do not require any explanation
So nothing you should worry about
As someone who has done a lot of coaching/teaching I want to chime in to support Zero. When you spoonfeed information to someone and just give them the solution you rob them of the opportunity to actually learn something. Zero makes you work for it a bit, which engages the brain and memory. This a well-established principle. If you truly want someone to learn, you make it a little difficult for them. People who don’t get this will sometimes express frustration, such as “why are you being difficult? Just give the answer” as if the purpose is to be unpleasant or withhold information, but if that was the case we simply wouldn’t reply at all. Makes sense, right? Zero puts in a lot of effort to share good information. He could have just ignored the post.
Definitely. However, teaching or explaining something that’s technical and which the learner would never have worked out for themselves is not spoonfeeding. By explaining you’re passing on the knowledge and providing them tools to work with. The recipient will still have to work out how to use that knowledge in different contexts or situations.
There’s working for it, and then there’s just making it too big a jump from what they do know to what they need to know. You end up confusing and frustrating the hell out of someone because that knowledge gap is too great.
You say “too big” as if you are more qualified than others at pinpointing which level of knowledge someone has. So that means you’re likely going to try to be a watchdog or gatekeeper of other people’s effort to teach. In my personal experience, when this happens I stop making an effort to contribute to a community.
There are only a very few of us who are both qualified to teach and motivated to and able to find the time to teach. It’s a sacrifice, spending our own time helping others. Then somebody comes along as says we are doing it “wrong”. That’s like being one of the few people who actually give money to charity but then being criticized for not giving “enough”. At that point, the hell with making an effort for ungrateful people. Food for thought.
If you can NEVER advocate for me
If i am wrong i do not want drag others into my issues
Encourage ppl to use their brain is what i wish to do when i provide any help
I raised too many brainless zombies with my help on discord to just give away solutions left and right
So i totally agree with you here
BUT in this case i assumed OP had enough knowledge to understand screenshot alone and no clarification was needed
MrMen had 2 options
1 - he did care for OP sake
2 - he did care for any OTHER newcomer that could read it
In 1st case like i said it is OP who should ask for explanation and i can’t see me doing anything wrong
In 2nd case i would agree with MrMen BUT still i would lean into way of any1 who do not understand simply ASK there is no shame in now knowing something and willing to learn
Now what you wrote is also accurate
BUT issue here is
IF for OP i would assume he have enough knowledge even if he do not understand there WAS only screenshot in my post he would still figure out and everything would be fine
IF for some OTHER new user who just come by here and read it
I will agree that for such person it can be cryptic WTF did i post and why not explained anything
YET again i will point out that any1 who do not understand should ask
I see more and more ppl coming to discord and here are afraid to ask for something like they are in shame or whatever
Just because they do not know something
I very rarely see ppl ask about every possible info that could help them instead of doing something without using their brain at all
SO i will always go for forcing ppl to learn to ask questions
And that we are here to answer them and they should not feel guilty for asking or ashamed for not knowing something
OK fak it i am outta here i will text wall the hell out of this topic
See i need to learn how NOT to make walls of text yet i do feel shame to ask any1 to teach my how to just because i feel it would be stupid thing to ask
Damn i am guilty of same thing i just described other ppl have
Remember what is obvious for one person is not obvious for other
Maybe MrMen saw something in my post that could be fonusing
Even if i agree with you and say MrMen step out of his line
Or i say you are wrong and MrMen had every single right to do so
What’s the difference?
I edited my post and i did not die from it
I only wanted to make sure it is clear why i gave so little information
That is all
And again wall texting
Now i am really off
Just for clarification, I did understand @ZeroX4 's screenshot, and honestly, arguing if you should give someone a similar solution that’s not exactly what that person needs, and leaving them to fill in the blanks doesn’t really matter unless that person still doesn’t understand. Also, I don’t care whether I get a complete solution, or one where I have to adjust some events to get what I need. Just as long as I get the solution I’m happy.
Also, why are you arguing so much here? Can’t you do it in Discord or something? My question has been answered, so unless the solution doesn’t work ( I haven’t implemented it yet), there’s no need to help me with my small little issue.
