thanks jayjay.

I must confess that I officially gave up on my project. Even if animations worked ok, there were still issues that I cannot solve using construct. I wanted to do something different but the complexity of the project cannot be mapped in construct. Well, "I" can't do it in construct.

Anyway here are the sprites (in a cap file) if anyone wants to make something. (just erase everything else and keep the sprites)

maybe (yet another) space shooter is easier for me.

Hi,

I see people asking and get replies here so here is mine.

When I press space, The sprite deactivates the platform behavior, plays an animation ("aim")

and everything is OK

When I release space, the animation("aimdown) does not play (or so it seems) and the sprite activates the platform behavior again.

Why can't I see the animation? Does the activation of the behavior stops the animation before it plays? how can I "give some time" to the animation to play, if that's the case?

thanks.

If you need more info, I will post the cap file
