use a button to stop another button

how do i enable a button, when pressed, stop the actions of another button?

basically when my character moves i can attack at the same time which... makes things look abit silly. how can i implement a button that causes me to stop entirely and when the animation is finished the button is unlocked/enabled again so i can walk?

Create a variable "canwalk" ; 0 = the player can walk and 1 = the player cannot walk.

Then try this:

If [your walk button] is pressed

and if variable canwalk = 0

----> then the character walks.

If [your attack button] is pressed

---> the character attacks

plays animation "attack"

put the variable canwalk to 1

When the animation 'attack" is finished, put the variable canwalk to 0.

Worked like a Charm, Thanks!
