This is all getting very complicated....

Well, it seemed all good at the point where your only problem was the shooting thing.
From that point on you made something weird because now the whole movement system has stopped working?
What if you take the ged in where the only problem was shooting and try to continue working on that instead of the one with everything broken?

I think the confusion may have come because I changed to logic to work like "<>" instead of "><",
Here is my animation values:
PlayerStillLeft 0
PlayerStillRight 1
PlayerMoveLeft 2
PlayerMoveRight 3
PlayerJumpLeft 4
PlayerJumpRight 5
PlayerShootLeft 6
PlayerShootRight 7
In my logic points outward like so "<>".
so I tried to modify the code to suit this set of values but I got the same mess as the one where I was using "define".

To this day animation setting remains a major issue in my projects...

I have overcome these problems with better code!

what better code? hmm I wish I were more specific. Now that I'm writing this, Say Lcl, Dimension 55355 was your most recent platformer, it didn't use state method did it? Do you know of any .ged where State Method was used?

I suppose it's promising I now kinda get this one post:

Your code is like this:
if (check some thing)
{
do some thing;
}
else
{
do some thing else;
}
else
{
do some thing else (again );
}
}

It is the red part that makes your code unacceptable.

Turon wrote:Sorry to confuse you but my code had a typo so I typed "IF Z IS PRESSED AND X" which was meant to be "IF Z IS PRESSED AND NOT X"

I modified that in the code below.
So I suggest you copy the code below here (push the select all button)
Then in your .ged you erase your code, and replace it by the one you copied.
See if it gets accepted.
If (so)
{
figure out what is different from your code, and try to understand it;
}
else
{
report back here;
and we try to help you figure it out;
}
else
{
forget about the second else ...
}
}

Code: Select all

char* key = GetKeyState();
if (key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 0)
{
    // IF KEY RIGHT IS PRESSED AND NOT LEFT
    if(key[KEY_x]==1)
    // AND THEN IF X IS ALSO PRESSED
    {
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "PlayerJumpRight", NO_CHANGE);
    }
    if (key[KEY_z]==1 && key[KEY_x]!=1)
    {
        //IF Z IS PRESSED AND NOT X
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "PlayerShootRight", NO_CHANGE);
    }
    if (key[KEY_x]!=1)
    {
        // BUT IF X ISN'T PRESSED
        x+=3;
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "PlayerMoveRight", NO_CHANGE);
    }
}

if (key[KEY_LEFT] == 1 && key[KEY_RIGHT] == 0)
{
    // IF KEY LEFT IS PRESSED AND NOT RIGHT
    if(key[KEY_x]==1 && key[KEY_z]==1)
    {
       // AND THEN IF X IS ALSO PRESSED
       ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "PlayerJumpLeft", NO_CHANGE);
    }
    if (key[KEY_z]==1 && key[KEY_x]!=1)
    {
        // IF Z IS PRESSED AND NOT X
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "PlayerShootLeft", NO_CHANGE);
    }
    if (key[KEY_x]!=1)
    {
        // BUT IF X ISN'T PRESSED
        x-=3;
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "PlayerMoveLeft", NO_CHANGE);
    }
