was Pressed
Check if a button was pressed earlier.
brick.buttonEnter.wasPressed()
The fact that a button was pressed earlier is remembered. Once was pressed is used, this fact is forgotten and the result is false
the next time you check with was pressed button state is reset). But, if you press the button again before you check with was pressed, it will tell you true
.
Touch sensors
Your LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 has touch sensors that work like buttons. Instead of saying enter
or left
as the source button, use a touch sensor block with a sensor name like touch 1
.
if (sensors.touch1.wasPressed()) {
console.log("Hey, I was pressed.");
}
Read about touch sensors and using them as touch buttons.
Returns
- a boolean:
true
if the button was pressed before, false
if the button was not pressed before
Example
Set the brick light to green if the right
button was pressed before the left
button. If not, the brick light is turned off when the left
button is pressed.
brick.buttonLeft.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Bumped, function() {
if (brick.buttonRight.wasPressed()) {
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Green)
} else {
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Off)
}
})
