I was making some animations and made a condition for it that was:

if(play_death_animation == true)
         play appropriate death animation
else
	if(moving)
		moving animation
	else
		idle
	if(jumping)
		jumping animation
	if(falling)
		falling animation
[/code:17ebdfw8]
However, nothing in that else was being done (and adding a simple event to the top of it didn't affect anything either. I had to invert the original if and then stick the nested ones inside of it to make it work and I thought that was mighty strange and made little sense. Explanation for it?

When an else event has subevents it will not function, it is a know bug and is on the bug tracker.

You can often avoid using sub-events with just several else statements in line, each grouped with another condition. Works just like if-elif-else conditionals, and has worked fine for me in Construct. Something like this should work:
+ if(play_death_animation == true) -> play appropriate death animation + else + if walking -> walking animation + else + if jumping -> jumping animation + else + if falling -> falling animation + else -> idle animation[/code:2jd4j6v1]

After much debugging I worked out what causes the else condition to bugger up when its nesting. It should be fixed for the next version

Great to hear, David! That will make a big difference to many users, I'm sure.
