Disable ALL controls for a short amount of time in battle?, RPGMAKERXP Options

[mariofan12]

Hello.

In my game, I am using an action command battle system I made myself with common events and no script! It works. You must press a button when a picture of the button shows up. This system uses conditional branches that say if the button is being pressed at the right time.
BUT, there is a problem. You're able to hold the button down instead of just pressing it when the button picture shows up, which is NOT supposed to happen! You're supposed th press the button RIGHT at the moment when the picture shows up for about 1 second, not just hold it down before it happens! That would be too easy and boring.

So, is there a way to disable the controls from the start of the attack to the button appearing? So you won't be able to hold the button down before the right time comes?

You could set the controls to a different button until the exact moment when it is the right button to press, and then between correct button presses you can reset the controls to other buttons so that they cannot hold down the correct button.
Just a thought. =]
