Expression for several triggers

I have an event that should react to 3 different anims of the sprite, doesn't matter which of those is playing.

Is there a way to make this short with expressions?

something like:

-when X sprite is playing anim ("1","2","3"), makes this stuff happen.

The ( ) should represent "any of the anims in here".

anyone?

at least to know if this is possible or not and to avoid having 3 events where I could have just 1.

you can use the "or" block.

make the three event, select them , right click : make "or" block.

hmm yes, I know the OR. I've been trying it but sometimes brings many problems and makes the code a little harder to read.

Is it possible to make what I said in the first post? If not then it's ok. just want to know that...

| is a logical OR operator

put it between the animationnames and it might work.

Something like TokenAt?

well, the thing about OR blocks is that sometimes I have to use more "or" stuff.

for example I have 3 different animations that I use as triggers, that could be used in an OR block. but then, in some cases, I need more triggers like if it's mirrored or not. So that would need some kind of another OR block. That's why I needed this alternate way.

What I finished doing was adding a variable that activates whenever any of those anims are playing in an OR block.

about the tokenat, sadly I really didn't understand a single thing about it:

---------

tokenat(src, index, separator)

Return the Nth token from src, splitting the string by separator. For example, tokenat("apples|oranges|bananas", 1, "|") returns oranges.

----------

it's like chinese for me. Why would it return oranges? i you want it to return oranges just write oranges. anyway, can't understand it.
