How do I toggle between two different animations with...

... the same button?

I'm making a game where you are required to hide behind your hands to hide from monsters. I want to use space to hide and "not hide", so how would I toggle between the two animations with space?

in psuedo code it would be something like this:

on space pressed

-- if hide is true

unhide

-- else

hide

create some sort of flag.

make an instance variable on the object.. something like "isHiding" init it to false.

If isHiding.....set animation to ABC, set isHiding=false

else If XisHiding.....set animation to XYZ, set isHiding=true

*this last part is inverted so it reads: if NOT true

LittleStain is right.. if there are only 2 animations you only need to do an else and don't need and 'else if' since it's an either or situation..

in psuedo code it would be something like this:

on space pressed

-- if hide is true

> unhide

-- else

> hide

LittleStain

What would that be physically in Construct then? I'm not very experienced
