stop the crouch animation from looping(noob question)

Hello guys:

I'm setting the player inputs and the animation state to "crouch" but i don't know how can i make the animation to stop in the last frame and remain until I release the down button and it back to idle

this is my actual code:

+ Keyboard: ? is down

+ OR Keyboard: S is down

-> walking_mask: Set size to (106, 119)

-> obj_player: Set animator to "crouch"

I tried with this code:

+ Keyboard: ? is down

+ OR Keyboard: S is down

-> walking_mask: Set Platform maximum speed to 0

-> walking_mask: Set size to (106, 119)

-> obj_player: Set animator to "crouch"

----+ obj_player: Animation frame = 16

-----> obj_player: Stop animation

and this code:

+ Keyboard: ? is down

+ OR Keyboard: S is down

-> walking_mask: Set Platform maximum speed to 0

-> walking_mask: Set size to (106, 119)

----+ System: Trigger once

-----> obj_player: Set animator to "crouch"

--------+ obj_player: Animation frame = 16

---------> obj_player: Stop animation

but the crouch looping still looping

Have you unchecked the "repeat" box in the objects crouch animation?

Hello mOOnpunk I have recently found a solution:

// crouch

+ Keyboard: S is down

+ walking_mask: Platform is on floor

-> walking_mask: Set Platform maximum speed to 0

-> walking_mask: Set size to (106, 119)

-> obj_player: Set animator to "crouch"

----+ obj_player: Animation frame = 16

-----> obj_player: Set animation speed to 0

+ Keyboard: On S released

+ walking_mask: Platform is on floor

-> walking_mask: Set size to (213, 239)

-> walking_mask: Set Platform maximum speed to 1800

works fine!

I think you could save yourself a lot of code, if you just turned off the repeat checkbox in the animation properties of the animation editor of the crouching animation (phew, that's a lot of animation!)

Hello joelmayer thanks for your reply:

¿you mean if the loop box is unchecked? yeah it was that's the weird thing

maybe even adding a subevent for when down arrow is pressed, with an extra condition of trigger once while true, and having the event as, set animation to - crouch

then on released have it revert to w.e. animation

but theres no right or wrong way, if you managed to make it work, kudos.
