Waiting for button to be clicked

Question

I want to wait until one of the three buttons have been pressed successfully before running the next five statements. How can I do this?

playerTurn: (opponent) ->
    $attackButton.click -> buttonClick.attackButtonClick(opponent)

    $defendButton.click -> buttonClick.defendButtonClick(opponent)

    $useItemButton.click -> buttonClick.useItemButtonClick(opponent)

    status.Poison("opponent", opponent) if opponent.Poisoned
    status.Burn("opponent", opponent) if opponent.Burned
    status.Freeze("opponent", opponent) if opponent.Frozen
    opponent.undefend() if opponent.defenseDoubled or opponent.defenseTripled
    refresh(opponent)

Does it work for you to just wrap the statements in their own function and call it for each click?

playerTurn: (opponent) ->
  opponentAction = ->
    status.Poison "opponent", opponent  if opponent.Poisoned
    status.Burn "opponent", opponent  if opponent.Burned
    status.Freeze "opponent", opponent  if opponent.Frozen
    opponent.undefend()  if opponent.defenseDoubled or opponent.defenseTripled
    refresh opponent

  $attackButton.click ->
    opponentAction()
    buttonClick.attackButtonClick opponent

  $defendButton.click ->
    opponentAction()
    buttonClick.defendButtonClick opponent

  $useItemButton.click ->
    opponentAction()
    buttonClick.useItemButtonClick opponent

That works. May I ask why you have `return` at the end? – LukeK Mar 01 '14 at 18:22
I was using a js/coffeescript converter (I don't do coffeescript too often). I think you actually don't need it there. – nwalton Mar 01 '14 at 18:27
