Double-click on exit hotspot = run to exit marker
Hello everyone, I’ve got a question about adding “double-click on exit makes the player run.” I’m using AC 1.85.5, Unity 6.3 LTS, for a 2D game.
I’ve seen some similar posts in the forum but they all deal with previous versions of AC and I think the workflow has changed a bit since then.
Right now, single-clicking on an exit makes the player go to an exit marker (usually walking, occasionally running depending on the scene), then fade out, scene switch. Double-clicking on the ground makes the player run, but that gets overridden when the exit hotspot is clicked.
I’d like to keep that as-is, but add the option to make double-clicking on the exit hotspot cause the player to run to the marker instead of walk.
I’ve tried adding the following to the exit hotspot's actionlist:
Input: Check: Double Tap or Click
If true: Character: move to point: exit marker. Speed: run
If false: Character: move to point: exit marker. Speed: walk
But I haven’t been able to get any effect. The player continues to just walk to the exit. Any advice or help is appreciated.
My current settings are:
Interface:
movement: Point and click
input: Mouse and Keyboard
Mouse clicks have default functionality (check)
Interaction method: choose hotspot then interaction
Select interaction by: clicking menus
See interaction with: click on hotspot
Auto-hide interaction icons based on hotspot? (check)
Close interaction menus even if interaction doesn’t block game (check)
Everything else unchecked
Movement:
Double-click movement: makes player run
Thanks very much in advance!
Howdy, Stranger!

You don't need to use any Actions within the Interaction - the Hotspot itself has a Double-clicking field that lets you configure the behaviour when a double-click is used to interact with it.
However, this option is only available when a single-click interface is used. This is usually a case of the game's Interaction method being set to Context Sensitive. However, it can be overridden on a per-Hotspot basis by checking Single 'Use' interaction?. The 2D Demo does this for the Exit Hotspots in its Park scene.
Thanks so much!
