how to change attack animations :
go to ADD=KeyDOWN=choose Attack button=ADD Action=Go to Script Editor
create two variables:
1=player_right
2=player_left

CODE:
if (player_right);
{
changeanimation(playerattackright)
}
if(player_left)
{
changeanimation(playerattackleft
}

Then expand on spidy's code by putting it all in a case switch for jumping:

switch (canjump)
case 0: //if he's in the air
if (player_right);
{
changeanimation(playerjumpingattackright)
}
if(player_left)
{
changeanimation(playerjumpingattackleft
}
break;

case 1: //on the ground
if (player_right);
{
changeanimation(playerattackright)
}
if(player_left)
{
changeanimation(playerattackleft
}
break;
}

Oh,you remind me with Darkboy.
Well,make some actor variables : right,attack
Player keydown left

Code: Select all

right=0;
if(attack==0){
x-=3;}

Player keydown right

Code: Select all

right=1;
if(attack==0){
x+=3;}

Player keydown to attack

Code: Select all

if(attack==0){
if(right==0){
ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","AttackLeft",FORWARD);}
if(right==1){
ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","AttackRight",FOWARD);}attack=1;}

Player animation finish of AttackRight

Code: Select all

ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","StopRight",FORWARD);
attack=0;

Player animation finish of AttackLeft

Code: Select all

ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","StopLeft",FORWARD);
attack=0;

Enemy collision of player

Code: Select all

if(player.attack==1){
//hit action
}

Good luck

Add Actor=(choose name)
Add Animation=choose BG animation
Click on parent box change and choose view.Now your BG animation become Background
