4 Direction Attacking System

but it still stays in the stab animation until I let go.

Don't have your keydown event be set to repeat.

You could use the two frame thing, it is a common fix to gE's animation finish event being triggered at the start of the last frame. You could also create a timer when you attack. That way the timer event has the switch statement.

I'm not sure on when to create the timer, or what it's function should be.

EDIT: No wait. I figured it out! Just put a timer on the view. Thanks for your help guys!

to make him stop moving you can add an if statement with a variable around your movement called CanMove.

Code: Select all

if (CanMove==0)
{
//Movement Code
}

Then on your attack button down set CanMove to 1.
And on Attack button up set it to 0
