Animation not playing and Boolean not changing?

Ive got an issue with my code I can't seem to sort out... It used to work till I had to redo the way the character walks. 2 things are supposed to change when you are attacking, the player animation and the player's boolean 'isAttacking' and they don't change. Now if try to attack in game the enemies can still be injured. If I disable the entire attack event you cant injure them. Also, I loaded up an older version of the game and copied and pasted the attack code which was working in that version to my current version, still not playing the animation but I could injure them. That tells me the code is elsewhere but... I really have no idea what it could be. It stopped working when I changed the movement type from 8 direction to Rex's 'MoveTo"

Here is the current game- https://www.dropbox.com/s/6061rsiwkr4t7 ... .capx?dl=0

This should be a version where the attack works- https://www.dropbox.com/s/6ujs1cjnoiia5 ... .capx?dl=0

You need to watch your 'Elses'. You check for overlapping Enemy and set isAttacking to true. Then you separately check overlapping Crawling and if not, you set isAttacking back to false. And then you do the same for buildings. So unless you happen to be overlapping all three things at once, you are probably going to turn isAttacking off immediately. You need to clean up the logic so that if nothing is overlapping then you can set isAttacking back to false.

Would inverting0' is overlapping enemy', ect. be a fix for it? Do I need to combine the code somehow and only have one else? Im not all that sure on how to clean it up

There are different ways to do it. Because you separated logic with groups, I've used a local variable to keep track of the state changing. Then at the end of all processing, I check if the value was changed. If not, then 'isAttacking' was never set.
