Ok, in my game I have a character creation screen, where you choose your name, gender, and race. Once this is all done, you click the Finish button, and the game starts. But some people like to spam click the button, or a lag spike happens and people don't know why the game isn't loading when they click finish. This in turn creates even more lag and gives them multiple items. I can get around the multiple items and such with ease, but it would be a lot easier on everyone if I could keep them from clicking the button during these lag spikes. (I can easily set is-disabled to true to stop the spammers. But lag seems to be my main issue. Sorry for straying off topic so much there.)

My suggestion would be to fix the source of these "lag" spikes.
|
I am confused at your reasoning for putting lag in quotation marks. Is it unusual for someone, with about 2 GB of hard drive space left and an already sucky computer, and already hosting 1 or two games, to lag?

"Lag" in this context typically refers to network latency. Using the word to describe the game skipping frames because of inefficient code is incorrect.

And at what point was my source viewed by yourself and deemed inefficient?
EDIT: I did not expect there to be a way to solve my problem, but insulting the efficiency of my programming skills was unnecessary. | |
