GetButtonDown stuck in a loop? javascript included

............ Input.GetButtonDown(...) returns type of boolean, just to start with, second is switch suppose to be triggers or bumpers, like, > 0 is suppose to the right and < 0 is suppose to be left?

actually i was going to use the "Y" button on xbox controller, so Joystick BUTTON 3.

You can use the Y(joystick button 3), but you can not use it as you indicated above, button 3 will either be down or not, so you can only check to see those states. This means that the weapon change logically will go one way. The trigger or bumpers seem more logical, one for increasing through your weapons, other for decreasing which is what you were trying to do. If switch is button 3, and you check to see if it is down, it either is, or isn't, it returns bool. With the axis it is using ranges as i stated in your other post.

What you said went over my head to be honest, but I kinda get what you're saying. I just don't know how I would change it.. any javascript book suggestions that pertain to unity?.. seems to be my reoccurring weakness.

EDIT: Figured it out! still would like to know of good book tho. Thanks!
