Continuously check something while mouse area is pressed

[nhojyer07]

Hi! My first topic here! Anyway, here's my problem:

@Button {
id: rightkey
x: 104
y: 49
normalImage: "Images/right1.png"
pressedImage: "Images/right2.png"

    onPressed: {
        if (!player.rightCollide)
            player.status = "run_r";
    }
    onReleased: player.status = "idle_r";
}@

The Button element is just an Image element with a MouseArea inside it. The problem lies on onPressed. You can see above that it checks if the condition is false but what I need is checking that condition continuously while the button is pressed. Do I need to do something else to achieve that?

Thank you in advance. Hope you can help me with this.

You could use the onPressed: action to start a repeating Timer which does your check. Then use the onReleased: action to stop the timer.

Haven't thought of that. Thanks mlong! Be trying it later.

No problem! I've done something similar before and it worked great. Good luck!
