What should the conditions and events look like to play a crouch animation to the end and hold as long as "Move Down" is down? I am lost.

You know what, I figured it out, I had an else switching it back to "Standing" before it got to checking about the "Crouching" so it would only get to one frame of crouching and then switch back to standing and then restart crouching all over again. I have half a mind to delete this post, but maybe another "me" looking for the solution to the same problem will find this helpful.

rofl thanks, I see now. I assumed there was flipping of the sprites for left and right to save on memory or whatever.

I guess in the end a simple flip of your character would cause as many problems as it solves. Like z order of the weapon in his hands etc.

Hey Deadeye, I am using your tutorials a lot they're so helpful. My question is, why does rotating the sprite 180 degrees not result in the sprite being upside down? Is that just the platform behavior kicking in?

I'd like to use 8 direction movement (sans rotations) btw.

It's a material world. I hope construct brings you guys more reward than just our love and thanks. It being free to use doesn't mean that it can't generate revenue. I think Construct is in a much better position than Microsoft's own XNA to gather interest from indie game developers on the Windows platform. If I were Microsoft I'd sponsor Construct in a heartbeat.

Needed to throw some more thanks on this pile of win, the tutorials demand it.

Thanks a lot Deadeye, very nice work!
