SOLVED - How do I set player Y based on boolean?

Hi everyone, hope you are doing great, hopefully you can give me a hint on this one, sounds super easy, but I have tried several methods without much luck.

I would like to make an endless runner game, but the ones that you can change positions on Y while playing

I have a boolean that makes the player change Y position. But once it does, it is stuck on the Y position I just gave him.

How can I make this event only play once? (Set Y, and then leave the player on its own again ¿?) I have confronted this before on other examples, hopefully I will be able to understand it someday

Do you think this would be the correct approach or should I change the method?

Thank you so much in advance :) Best Regards, J

Hey there, you didn't add any condition/action to turn off the boolean, that's the problem

Thanks so much for your answer, Tomy

I guess I am having a missunderstanding that goes deeper than this example... shouldn´t toggle boolean work like a switch?

If it´s true, turn if false, and if it´s false turn it true?

Oh I missed the "toggle" action, it should work that way, try to replace Else with inverted boolean?

Hello,

I will attempt to assist you here but I for one, don't use event sheets and two, you have two contradicting statements.

have a boolean that makes the player change Y position. But once it does, it is stuck on the Y position I just gave him.

How can I make this event only play once? (Set Y, and then leave the player on its own again ¿?)

Looking at your event sheet I am going to assume the player is stuck at the first Y position.

You have 4 individual conditions, and they all run once, apart from the first condition where your setting your X position.

You can have multiple conditions to an action. Here is what I think I understand you need to do.

Condition #1 - Keep as it is.

Condition #2 - Add a second condition to it. So it's Every tick & On Space pressed.

Condition #3 - Add a second condition to it. So it's Every tick & Is Boolean.

Condition #4 - Keep as it is.

Something like this:

Also thinking about my response. You might not need the tick condition with the keyboard input as the event sheet might do this on a listener anyway.

The problem is it's not clear what you're asking. what does this mean? "How can I make this event only play once? (Set Y, and then leave the player on its own again ¿?)"

Hi everyone, thanks for all your answers, I managed to make the player have its Y position based on boolean

This is what I did and also I`ll be leaving the c3p file in case someone finds it useful as a starting template :)

Thanks!
