Smooth attack animation then resume animation.

Hello.

I've pretty much just started using Construct and everything so far has worked out pretty good. However I ran in to a problem the other day which I can't figure out how to solve.

This is what I have:

Walking animation with 4 frames.

Jumping animation with 1 frame.

Falling animation with 1 frame.

Also I have a shooting animation with 6 different frames.

I would like to be able to blend in to the shooting animation and then resume the walking animation.

How would I go about to blend in tot he correct shooting frame and then back to the walking?

So you have a shooting animation (where he is walking) and then just a regular animation too...

Ok so, I suppose you could do this:

local variable: frame_preserve

on shoot --> set frame_preserve to player.animationframe

        --> set animation to "shooting"

        --> set animation frame to frame_preserve

local variable: frame_preserve2

on stop shooting --> set frame_preserve2 to player.animationframe

                 --> set animation to "walking"

                 --> set animation frame to frame_preserve2

I must be daft. Can't seem to find how to make a local variable. I know the global variables and have used them quite a lot.

You need a subevent to add a Local variable <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

variables in manual

Not sure if I've set this up correctly. The player goes in to the shooting animation but slides around as if always playing frame 1 of the shooting animation.
