What is it you are trying to achieve?
<Replace all the <> with your answers/code and remove the <>>
I trying to make an arena fighting game in turing and am having some trouble.

What is the problem you are having?
<Answer Here>
I want to have cooldowns on all the attacks and link the second players controls to WASD but I dont know how to do that.

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
<Answer Here>
I have tried to use delay for cooldowns but all it does is slow down the game and I cant figure out the code to link the controls.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can we see what you have so far?

You'd have to store the Time.Sec (or the millisec variant) for each attack, and check each iteration if it has expired. You can do that using something like this:

Turing:

const cooldown := 5 var last := 0 var diff := 0 var x, y, b := 0 loop     locate (1, 1)     diff := last - Time.Sec     if (diff <= 0) then         put "Ready to attack!"     else         put "Wait ", diff, " seconds."     end if     Mouse.Where (x, y, b)     if (b = 1 and diff <= 0) then         last := Time.Sec + cooldown     elsif (b = 1) then         put "Wait!!!"     else         put ""     end if end loop

use a counter in the loop like...

counter := 50 % dependent on cooldown
loop
%your stuff here
counter := counter - 1
if counter := 0 then
% allow for use of power again
counter := 50
end if
end loop

you will need a counter for each power and a counter state to determine if the power should be activatable or still requires cooldown
