problem with wait action?

this is the code i have.

basically what i want is to have a cooldown of 1 second on the attack (so the player cant keep bashing the button)

what happens is sometimes it works, sometimes it resets the "p_SwordAttackCooldown" variable immediately without waiting 1 second. any ideas????

You could use the timer behavior instead of the wait action.

If you haven't read it, give a look. I think it explains why your events don't work as intended.

still no luck.

i simplified it to make it obvious how it should (or I expect it to work)

this code gives me mixed results. sometimes it waits 1 second so i can attack again. sometimes it resets immediately and i can keep bashing the button attacking a million times (ignoring the 1 second cooldown)

I also tried the timer behavior. for some reason it doesnt get called??

what happens is i attack the first time and never can attack again (as if the timer never happened)

You have to remember that the events run continuously, so "X Is canAttack" is running about 60 times a second, and resetting the timer. Add a "Trigger once", or keep track of whether you have the timer running.

("X Is canAttack" is running about 60 times a second, and resetting the timer)

YES.

fixed it by adding another bool:

thanks for the help!
