How do I change animation ?

I want to change the animation of a sprite after 2 seconds of holding down a key.

first (i can)

-animation1 is play when the key(A) is pressed.

second (i can't)

-Keep holding the key(A) to play animation2 after 2 seconds.

I was born yesterday...

please explain easily.

There are several ways you can do it.

You can use Timer behavior. On key pressed - start a timer for 2 seconds. On key released - stop this timer. On timer event - play animation2.

Another option is with a variable.

On key A pressed : Set variable Charge to 0

Is key A down : Add dt to Charge
... Compare variable Charge>=2 : Player play animation2

If you want me to give a solution, let me know in the first way. Because I can't read the code.

The answer I want is. If I keep holding the A key, animation 1 will change to animation 2 after 2 seconds.

⑴ A key down

⑵ play animation1

⑶ keep pressing..

⑷ 2 seconds have passed while pressing the A key.then play animation2.

(If I hold the A key pressed, animation 2 will continue to play.)

I am a beginner.

To be honest, I think I can understand it by looking at the event sheet screenshots..

I have given you two solutions. You can try either of them. The "code" is the same as events. For example, "On A Key pressed" is an event of the Keyboard object.

I also suggest you study a couple of tutorials for beginners.

you said,

"..On key released - stop this timer. On timer event - play animation2."

I didn't ask about execution when a key is released.

If you decide to do this with a timer, you will need to stop it when the key is released early. If you don't stop the timer, the animation will still change after 2 seconds, even thought the key is no longer being held.

you said,

"..On key released - stop this timer. On timer event - play animation2."

I didn't ask about execution when a key is released.

How are you hoping to create functionality for when a key is pressed down without also checking if the key is no longer pressed down?

I don't know coding.

May I ask for a screenshot of the event sheet?
