Animation wont play past first frame

I dont have any button downs. they are all clicks. so i dont understand why when it gets to pickattack it doesnt play animation past the first frame. can anyone help. below is my code. whats in red is what isnt working. if anyone has an answer please be detailed as im new to this.

Check that your animation playback speed isn't 0 in the image editor.

hey oosyrag yea i dont think its that i have the speed set to 60

Add trigger once while true beneath the inverted 'animation is playing' condition and see. It could be because you are using a boolean state to trigger the animation that every tick that that condition is true it is starting the animation, thereby never getting passed the first frame.

I was hoping a trigger once would solve this but it seems do the same thing. Im not sure how the animation could be restarting since a boolean can only either be false or true. hmm

Post a link to your project file and I'll have a look

You have a lot of conflicting animation calls. In some events you are telling one animation to run based on a condition, and in another event you are telling a different animation to run based on the same condition. Your structure was causing some problems also. I have disable all your other events that trigger animations and re structured the "pickup and drop pick" section so that the pick animations work as intended. You should compare it to your original structure to see what the differences are. You will also need to go back through your other events that trigger animations and define more conditions that determine if those animations are played or not so that they don't interfere with any others.

calminthenight thanks for all your help and i understand the conflicting animation calls but i dont understand why the structure is important. your code basically says what mine says its just in a different order. but yours clearly works and mine doesnt. im just confused on why the order matters if they are both basically saying the same thing

No Worries. Have a read up on how the code/event sheet is executed. It can take a little while to wrap your head around but once you do your code will be much more efficient and you will run into less problems like these.
