Slick2D Button Mashing

Newbie & Debugging Questions

Hi guys,

I’m looking for a way to enable button mashing in slick2d, that means the player has to repress a certain key to repeat an action.
I thought this was possible by using isKeyPressed. For fluent moving I’m using isKeyDown, but for attack I don’t want the player to be able to hold down the attacking button.

	if (CoreGameState.inputHandler.isKeyPressed(Input.KEY_SPACE)) {
	    		PlayerCharacter.nextAction = ActionController.findActionByName("Simple Attack");
	    		SimpleAttack sa = (SimpleAttack)PlayerCharacter.nextAction;
	    		sa.useAction(pc);
	    		
	    	}

This is the code I’m using for attacking, right now the player can just hold down space and the attack is repeated. I want the player to press the space for each attack.
I’m sure this isn’t super hard to achieve but somehow I can’t figure it out right now.
