Conflict between walk and attack animation

Basically I am making a side scroller, kinda like hack'n slash. When my player is walking, walk animation is playing (duh ) and then when i left click he is supposed to stop, play animation attack1, start ignoring platform user input and on attack1 finished stop ignoring user platform input.

That sounds simple enough but when i walk and click he stops and then I have to click again in order for him to start his attack animation. It's really annoying, and I have no idea how to fix it. I searched quite a bit but didn't find anything so any help would be useful.

Thanks in advance.

Post screenshot or capx, need to see the event's.

Here, just to explain kraljhitBox is basically for my movement and collisions.

But i think i should remake the way it works,it just seems to clumsy.

You should make an animation manager. They all have to be in a sort of switch case format to work properly for each sprite.

For instance;

If X, play this animation,
else if x, play this animation
else, default to this animation.

Every single animation for a family or sprite should be in here, otherwise you can have animation glitches on your sprites. Using the "Else" event condition will assure that only one can happen at a time.

What happen if you delete / Start ignoring platform user input.

Yeah that actually works, I used system>set group active instead of ignoring user input . Thanks guys for the help.
