  Ok I found the (easy) part that I was missing to deal with the 2 sides.

  Now, I still need to polish the dash part (space down instead of pressed? temp platform speed + cooldown?) because it's just a teleport here.

  But at least it works in the 2 directions which was my 1st issue...

  Keyboard / On [SPACE] pressed (and I add 2 sub-events = right click on this 1st event)

  • MC (my player) / is mirrored /// MCcoll (my coll box) Set X to Self.X-150
  • MC / is not mirrored (right click > invert) /// MCcoll / Set X to Self.X+150

  To be continued

  Thanks for your new answer! It's though trickier than expected and I'm not familiar yet with everything from your screen, I'll try all this asap.

  Edit. Like where/how to set-start timers?~

  Hey thanks for these answers!

  'Platform max speed' isn't really what I want because this works like a sprint/run = you still need to input direction keys (it's basically the SHIFT key in any FPS).

  I want the SPACE to trigger a dash, according to the current facing direction. That's why I started with 'Set position'. If I set space as 'pressed', it works as a teleport, which isn't what I want, if it's set as 'down', the dash works but I indeed need to put a threshold to it + find how to make it work to the left (not sure to get your point Frostein since it relies more on the side the player faces, and not if A/D are pressed).

  To be continued! Thanks

  Hey guys

  Nice to meet you all! I'm practicing a bit Construct these days, not really making 1 game for now, just training some ideas. I was in a platformer game, and wanted to add dash moves.

  My intuition told me to make this:

  Keyboard > Space is down > [PLAYER] Set position to (self.x+15; self.y)

  It works great!

  ... if you move forward (right). If you look on the left, you'll obviously still dash to the right, which is odd~

  Either I need to spot a mirrored position of the player and apply x-15 or I can do that directly with another expression than 'self' (something like 'direction'?). I tried a few things but can't find a solution yet to that noob issue... I also looked on the forum (edit / I can't post url yet~ ) but there is no answer + we don't use the same method (bullet speed) and I just want to use space not 2 dedicated buttons (then my problem would be fixed but it's less natural to play).

  Let me know : )
