Issues in JavaScript

My code should open the screen, then immediately change to purple when run as it enters the first if statement - however, it seems to run all of these and skip right to the end slowly!!!

Any help on this would be very much appreciated, just can't seem to work out why it's not running any of the if statements and pausing for the mousePressed events.

void setup()
{
Bwidth=1000;
Blength=400;
size(1000,400);
background(0,0,0);
fill(255,255,255);

dClicked="NoClick";
VehicleType="Lorry";
VSelect="Incomplete";
dCalc="NoCalc";
RotateVehicle="NoRotate";
gravity=9.81;
AllowableStress=(1.3*(10^(-6)));
}

void draw()
{
BridgeInput();
}

void mousePressed()
{
if(dClicked=="NoClick")
{
    Blength=mouseX-27;
    background(116,108,250);
    ellipse(27,373,25,25);
    dClicked="Click1";
}

if(dClicked=="Click1")
{
    Bwidth=373-mouseY;
    background(139,139,139);
    fill(255,255,255);
    dClicked="Clicked";
}
else
{
    if (VSelect=="Round1")
    {
      V1x= mouseX;
      V1y=mouseY;
    }

    if (VSelect=="Round2")
    {
      V2x=mouseX;
      V2y=mouseY;
    }

    if (VSelect=="Round3")
    {
      V3x=mouseX;
      V3y=mouseY;
    }

    if(VSelect=="Round4")
    {
      V4x=mouseX;
      V4y=mouseY;
    }

    if (VSelect=="Round5")
    {
       V5x=mouseX;
       V5y=mouseY;
    }
}
}

void keyPressed()
{
if (key=='a'||key=='A')
{
    VehicleType="Lorry";
}

if (key=='b'||key=='B')
{
    VehicleType="Car";
}
if (key=='c'||key=='C')
{

}
if (key=='1')

}
else
{
    text("Invalid selection.",150,150);
    VSelect="Incomplete";
    dCalc="NoCalc";
    RotateVehicle="NoRotate";
}
}

void BridgeInput()
{
if (dClicked=="NoClick")
{
    background(116,108,250);
    text("Select bridge dimensions from the corner ..... length horizontally (looking at the plan)",100,180,900,300);
    ellipse(27,373,25,25);

    mousePressed();
}

if (dClicked=="Click1")
{
    text("Select bridge dimensions from the corner ..... width vertically (looking at the plan)",100,180,900,300);

You are calling the mouseClicked event in the draw loop. this will simulate someone clicking.

The keyPressed and mousePressed evens are called by processing when the events happen. You dont need to call them:

http://processingjs.org/reference/mousePressed_/

With regard to your other two qeustions, if you want to stop the draw loop there is a noLoop/loop call to stop drawing.

http://processingjs.org/reference/noLoop_/

Hope that helps,

So if I'm understanding you correctly, I want to remove the mousePressed & keyPressed calls within the draw function, and replace them with the loop that should pause the program until the mouse is pressed? Or do I want to set up a custom listener that will only continue to run the code once the mouse is pressed?

NEW CODE - but it still doesn't seem to stop or pause - any ideas on why?

So, you need to change how you are thinking about the input functions(keyPressed, MousePressed.

During normal program flow processing calls setup and then calls draw over and over in a loop. If you want to stop the draw loop you use loop and noLoop.

The key and mouse functions are event handlers this means that they will be called automatically when the event occurs. This happens outside the draw loop and without your input. You do not need to ever call these functions.

Check out this example:

Think I understand what you're saying, but I don't want it to entirely stop the draw loop, just pause on the screen it's reached (as this needs to be seen for the user to input information). Plus I do need it to stop until the mouse is Pressed, which is difficult, even with using my MouseListen function!

Do you think it might be easier just to use an if statement within the main draw function to check whether the mouse has been pressed, as this will then cause it to pause automatically until this is true?

Any suggestions for how to solve this would be greatly appreciated!

That approach is called polling.

It's a completely valid way to handle input, but it means you have to maintain state yourself.

This is to say, You have to know what keys were down last time in order to tell what keys were released or newly pressed.

If you are doing something like clicking a button there are advanatges to the handler event. If you are trying to do something like move right while the right arrow is pressed polling makes it easy.

Hope that helps,

Lee

This code should change various screen colours depending on the mouseclicked and keypressed properties (usually resetting them to false after its finished). However, the second mousePressed input is not working presently - any ideas why this might be!

I'm then hoping the while loop will stop the code (or remain on the same screen) until a key is pressed - does this seem like an appropriate way of doing it?

after the second press you use a loop of while(Keypressed ==false);

This will tight loop and prevent further program execution, if you swap those to if it should run more normally.
