prevent myself from walking backwards

Hello all,

i have came across a problem while playing around with construct.

i have noticed that if i were to press down right to move right

but then press left while right is still pressed. the character stops

as he should but looks left.

if i were to let the left go while still holding right i begin to run

however i am now facing left with the animation backwards as i run to the right.

is there anyway to mend this? because its rather goofy.

You could add another, inverted condition to the event so that it doesn't move if both keys are pressed:

+Left Arrow Down

+Right Arrow Not Down

• > Move left

Invert conditions by pressing I on the keyboard or right-clicking.

hmm its not working for me i know im not doing something right

on [Right Arrow Down]

            |-[Left Arrow not Down] = -> Move right

                                        ETC

or is it more

[Right Arrow Down]

and

[Left Arrow not Down] = -> Move right

                                        ETC

how does that look?

Hmm, what kind of behaviour are you using? Seems to me the platform behavior sorts this out automatically. Maybe you could upload your file to dropbox and post a link here so I can have a look?

im using the keyboard platform and mirror behaviors,

sorry i should have said in the previous post that it did work to some degree except now if i were to press left as soon as i let left go and proceed to press right the animation will continue from the running left animation.

ill upload the file in a sec!

Thanks for the help and your patience btw!

Happy to help. A setup similar to this should do the trick for you I believe:

PlatformMirror.capx (r134)
