Sword Stab

I'm trying to create a function that replicates a sword stab in this mini-project of mine. In my head, the code I have makes sense, but on execution, it is like the program isn't reading all of my code.

This is the code I have so far:

What it seems to be doing is just going so fast through the code that it just skips all animation and the "action = 1". However, it does take 1 second for the sword to disappear.

You can't see it from the code snippet I provided, but when action is set to 1, the character is unable to move. It works in all other instances of the game. I threw in the "8Direction" disabled for good measure, but it doesn't do anything either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OnTrigger condition shouldn't be nested. Move the condition in Line53 into the top of Line52.

You can nest the conditions in a sub but the keyboard trigger should be first.

Unfortunately, that didn't fix anything besides make lines 52/53 more compact.

Need capx to see what is happening

Here is the .capx file.

The function sets action to 1 for 1 second but event 34 is setting it back to 0 immediately because flicker = 0.

Thank you for you help, I can't believe I didn't catch that.

Thanks!!
