  I inverted the order of images, sorry but normally within their group grab ledge is placed first.

  Animations in ledge drop down are temporary, usually I place them in another event sheet and activated them via an instance variable.

  Yes, drop off a ledge is supposed to be the animation that plays. Holding a ledge is grabbing. So right now when the Player drops down it activates the grabbing state.

  I tried bypassing it but none of the solutions I came up with did the job.

  Sorry, I'm trying to figure out how I could use the same logic in my events.

  My code is something like this:

  https://www.dropbox.com/s/f1mzhgl76l73yok/2.PNG?dl=0

  For now is working like this:

  I managed to get something better but it seems its actually not playing the animation and instead going right away to the next state.

  I could live with it but I wish I could replicate what I did with the climbing up. i was trying to use the same animation but reversed.

  I think you can find it here:

  Well, thanks again, I learned something new and now is definitely clearer to me how it works.

  or rather, what would be the logic.

  Let me explain:

  I have a set up that works quite well for grabbing and climbing ledges.

  My current system

  http://vertexzero.tumblr.com/post/146506786218/testing-the-flow-during-the-past-weeks-ive-been

  Now, I did the events for climbing down a ledge (think Prince of Persia climb up and down)

  My problem is that when I go to ledgeDrop state, ggrabledge state is activated too, sort of playing both animations at the same time.

  I'm using a sprite to control my animation, so I do a smooth climbing via Image Points if that can help.

  So to come back to my question, should I rethink how I'm doing it?

  my input:

  1. Self promote your game. If you work in the dark for months/years and barely show your product then no one will know about it

  2. Sole bad performance I ever had with C2 was my own damn fault for not knowing how to properly use it

  3. Oh, speaking of performance, also nw but that was fixed and it was out of Scirra's control

  4. Community is very helpful. Have some experience with other communities and I've been advancing faster here

  5. Is not because C2 is easier to use that you don't need game logic and a deep understanding, easier to use but easier to mess up things as well

  So far, I can say that every design idea I had for my game I've been able to do it without losing performance. is not always easy but C2 is in overall a really good engine

  Now I understand. Thanks for making it very clear. I didn't know the indexes start at zero so I had a great confusion about how it works.

  Thanks again!

  I'm not completely sure but by using Pick by comparison maybe?

  Pick -- obj

  Expression -- obj.UID

  Comparison -- = to

  Value -- Global Var

  Because you can open it in top of any video and go image by image. takes less time than doing it lets suppose in Asesprite and less hassle than photoshop.

  I access the data and read it, now I would like to understand how can I connect it with expressions. Its still quite confusing to me even if I took the time to check exemples and read tutorials
