What is wrong here ?! Possible bug ?

I've encountered a problem when I tried to do the following basic action: To change a character's animation when pressing a key and change it again when pressing the same key again

Here is a screenshot with my Event Sheet:

Here is the .capx file: AnimationChange.capx

here is your capx altered

your version says

if key "X" pressed and mode="anim2" then ... and set mode to equal "anim1"

if key "X" pressed and mode="anim1" then ... and set mode to equal "anim2"

so it does the first line and finds "X" pressed and mode="anim2" so changes (animation) and sets mode to "anim1"

it goes on to now find that "X" is still pressed and mode is now="anim1" (because we have just made it ="anim1" in the last line so it changes the animation and makes modebact to"anim2" again ....

Thanks for your fast answer, but can you explain me what I was doing wrong ? I want to organize my project in groups so when I want to modify something to know where to look.

Also, If I have more than 2 "modes", how should I structurate the events ?

The reason is that when you press "X" player mode 1 triggers true. In this case you Set mode to "Anim2" causing Player Mode 2 to also trigger true right after. Pretty sure that's your problem.

Its a bit weird setup you have made.

If you make it like this instead:

On X pressed

-------> Player.Mode = "Anim1"

------------------ : set Mode to "Anim2"

-------> Else

------------------: Set Mode = "Anim1"

Then you only need 1 Group to handle the switching for you.

If you need it to handle more you just add conditions to the Else so:

On X pressed

-------> Player.Mode = "Anim1"

------------------ set Mode to "Anim2"

-------> Else

---------Player.Mode = "Anim2"

------------------ set Mode = "Anim3"

-------> Else

---------Player.Mode = "Anim3"

----------------- set Mode = "Anim4"

-------> Else

--------- Player.Mode = "Anim4"

------------------ Set Mode = "Anim5"

.. etc

Thank you both very much. I understand now my error (I tried several alternative ways, but what I was missing was Else and a better structure of the events).
