I won't email you, but I'll respond here. I changed your code around, but the main problem was your if statements. The main_actor check for the animation was not right, instead you can use getAnimIndex and check it with the current animindex. One thing is that this code has to be run by main_actor. If this is not what you need I can make a version that any actor can execute.

Code: Select all

if(getAnimIndex("c1")==animindex)
{
    ChangeAnimation("main_actor", "c2", FORWARD);
}
else if (getAnimIndex("c2")==animindex)
{
    ChangeAnimation("main_actor", "c3", FORWARD);
}
else if (getAnimIndex("c3")==animindex)
{ 
    ChangeAnimation("main_actor", "c4", FORWARD);
}

It is C with 'actors'... So you pretty much have to deal with C. The problem you have is your trigger event. I am assuming you have keydown space, but most likely you need to set that event to disable repeat events. So edit the event, the spot to set repeat to disable is pretty obvious, but if you need any more assistance just ask. This would make it so you have to rapidly press the key to cause it to repeat...
