First of all, I want to say that I don't have any .ged files in here, but I think my question is kind of easy to understand.
I want my character do a simple punch.
So I create a key down event

Code: Select all

Key Down -> w -> ChangeAnimToSimplePunch

My problem is after that he keeps doing that animation until I press another key which would change my animation. What should I do to make the character do the animation once then stop?

You could try to disable any keydown event until the animation is finished. I could send you a ged if you need one. (I'll try anyway)

You could use an Animation Finish event to change his animation back to standing once the punch animation is done.

But if you're making a fighting game its strongly recommended to use the switch(state) Method.
More info on it here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13057&p=93664&hilit=state+case#p93664

If you one holded animation while keydown and full animation once on key up do this, its simple:

Player -> Draw Actor -> Script Editor:

Code: Select all

char *key = GetKeyState();

if(key[KEY_p])
{
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "punch", FORWARD); // punch or w/e the animation is called
    ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", STOPPED);
}
animpos++;
if(animpos == nframes) { ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "idle", FORWARD); } // idle or the w/e is the idle animation called

Like that.. for me its more realistic.. som exotic controls.
