why is the animation not working?

so im making an animation that comes if you press a button but its not working any idea why and how i can fix it?

Can I see a screenshot of your events?

ofc i will send it right away

here it is

Code executes from top to bottom. Look later in your code, you change the animation again if you aren't moving. This means that you are indeed doing the animation, but then you immediately change it to something else.

Try adding a boolean variable to your player called "Attacking". When you start the attack, turn "Attacking" on, and when your attack finishes, turn "Attacking" off.

Then, at the bottom, make your idle animation happen if the player is not moving AND if the player is not attacking.

when i press the button nothing happens other then the charcheter changing to another animation

and how do i change attacking on and off?

On your player, add a new instance variable. Make it a boolean named "Attacking".

Then, when you want it on, you can use the "set boolean" action.

And it IS changing to the attack animation. But then right after, because you have other animations at the bottom immediately change it back.

it did not work is my code wrong or something?

ohhh wait a sec i have an animation to play if im idle is this the reason why

Now you're getting it!

The animations at the bottom should only happen if "Attacking" is false. That way, when you press your attack button and "Attacking" becomes true, the correct animation will play.

yesss!!! it worked thank you this is my first time coding lol

but now im facing another problem an animation keeps playing..

oh nevermind i fixed it but just a question how do i make the charcheter looks at the direction of where its moving insted of pressing another key to make it look at the other direction?
