So i have a store in my game that i want to make it so when you press the S key it will move the position of the background object and all the clickable objects to where the gun shop is, and when you press S again, it will "close" or make the objects invisible.
but when i tried to do this it simply either A, doesnt do anything, or B, will flash the objects than they will disapear. i tried to make it so it limited the action for about 20 millaseconds, but than it doesnt do anything at all. How can this be done effectively?

Give the store a flag and have it so that when you press "S" the flag toggles. When it's off the store is closed, when it's on the store is open.
If you put a million monkeys at a million keyboards, one of them will eventually write a Java program.
The rest of them will write Perl programs.

another way
also.
setting a variable value of an active object on screen to contain a countdown number would help this.
for instance
-----CONDITION-------------------------------------------ACTION-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------Activeobject1(shop)------------menu-----------Player1----------
if hero on shop
+ 'S' pressed
+ valueA(activeobject1)=0-----------set valueA to 3----------------reappear-------ignore-control--
+ menu is invisible
+ limit once per action
if valueA(activeobject1)>0----------subtract 1 from valueA-------------------------------------------
+ every 1 second
if hero on shop
+ 'S' pressed
+ valueA(activeobject1)=0-----------set valueA to 3-------------make_invisible----restore-control--
+ menu is visible
+ limit once per action
this would stop the menu appearing and dissappearing so quick.
