How do I switch platform to 8-direction and back?

Hi smart people,

I have a platformer that when the player overlaps a sprite, turns into 8-direction control. Works great. How can I get the player to return to platform control after no longer ovelapping sprite? Thanks for your help. Attached Capx.

I'm using 184, so I can't see, but will this work?

if overlapping

then disable platform

and enable 8-direction

else

disable 8-direction

and enable platform

Hi, thanks for looking at this. Here it is exported using that method.

Thank korbaach - Looks great. I will have to think about how I can implement it into my current game.
