In my latest game, I rely on a press of both buttons to restore health. But players (including myself) have been complaining that this behaves inconsistently.
I am using code along the lines of:
if(btnp(4) and btnp(5))then plr.usepotion(plr); elseif(btnp(4))then if(plr.stm>1)then plr.commanddash(plr) plr.stm-=10 else sfx(18) end elseif(btnp(5)) then if(plr.stm>1)then plr.attack(plr) plr.stm-=5 else sfx(18) end end |
Its just too inconsistent though. I've had comments wishing there was a third button.

The legendary matagi hero Snow Wolf is once again called for help, in order to rescue the mayor's children from the Yakuza, taken under dubious circumstances. A blizzard blows, and visibility is weak. Snow wolf sets out, with a sidekick, dog, in order to save the children and bring justice to the evil-doers. But by kami-sama is he so damned tired of all of this.
Snow Wolf is powerful. Snow wolf can kill his foes in a few blasts of his trusty rifle. But dog is just dog. Good dog :-)
