How do I make a charge shot, megaman X style?

Hi guys!!

In my game, I'm trying to get the character to have two shots: the normal and super shot.

Normal Shot

Only by pressing a button (Z).

Special Shot

Pressing and holding the x button.

As you will see, on the charge shoot I have problems.

When you pressed the button exits the bullet and this should not be, like his range of motion.

I like this shot works like Megaman X by keeping the button for a while.

But I can not perform, does anyone know how I can do this?

I leave my event sheet

I would appreciate it!!.

PD:Sorry for my English.

Cheers!!!

Try using a variable (example, charge set to 1) and "charge>0; key is down; every x seconds" subtract .5 from charge. "key is released; charge=0" fire charged shot (also a charge =/= 0 for normal shots).

It should be like that?

Now do not throw shooting and animation is infinitely. XD

hold keyboard button, when key is down every 0.1 second add 1 to variable 'charge'

when charge is 10 and more and key is relased > spawn big projectile

Thank you!!

But I get the shot, but I have followed your tips, the bullet did not exit.

I do not know if I'm making a mistake when distributing the conditions and actions.

Anyway I leave my event sheet.

do like in this example

set variable 'charged' to player not to projectile

do like in this example

set variable 'charged' to player not to projectile

Thank you very much it works perfectly.

Thanks to everyone who helped me when I have a preview of the game, I will publish in WIP.
