Thread: Dialogue skipping when using keys to continue

Thats the point of space bar ?

Don't press space.

Some ideas:
- Tell your players not to hold down space bar.
- Add some code that listens for spacebar key down event and if you don't get the keyup event after 2 seconds, give them a message telling them to stop.
- Previous point, just instead of the message, just trigger the keyup event for them.

Holding down space only skips one dialogue, you have to press down once for each dialogue.

maybe you should have stated the actual problem in the OP to begin with

If you're teaching someone how it works, why do you need help? Thats how it works on RuneScape as well. If you want to avoid it just make an exception in the EVENT_KEYBOARD packet. Also that advice is not silly, everyone who plays RuneScape knows it works like this. The holding of space event stops when multiple options are shown. I dont see how any of this is a problem.

Edit for dweebs: On RS3 it continues to skip while holding space bar and the event stops when multiple options appear. Im not aware how osrs works in this case.
