[Ravmaster]

if(Key.isDown(_root.ATTACKRIGHTKEY)){
if(_root.mcPLAYER.GROUNDED == true) {
if (_root.mcPLAYER.DIRECTION == "R") {
_root.mcPLAYER.gotoAndStop(12)
}
}
}

function controlKeyDown() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && _root.mcPLAYER.GROUNDED && _root.mcPLAYER.DIRECTION == "R") {
_root.mcPLAYER.gotoAndStop(12);
}
}
controlKey = new Object();
controlKey.onKeyDown = controlKeyDown;
Key.addListener(controlKey);
If you wanna use a variable to store the key code/name, make sure pre-define it beforehand like so:


var ATTACKRIGHTKEY = Key.CONTROL;

[Ravmaster]

that doesnt work it stops the first frame in mcPLAYER

[REEF·]

Well are you sure mcPLAYER.GROUNDED is defined to true & mcPLAYER.DIRECTION is defined to "R"? Is there any code that could be on frame 12 of mcPLAYER stopping it from staying in frame 12?

[Ravmaster]

i tried your variable thingy aswell but it still didnt work when i do press control it plays the first frame in mcplayer through once and then stops

[REEF·]

The variable thingy has nothing to do with mcPLAYER. The code I gave you should detect the control key just fine.

.FLA?

In frame two, the actions layer / actions window, right above line 227, include this:


ATTACKRIGHTKEY = Key.CONTROL;

it goes to the frame but stops on the first animtion frame again >.< (Gawd AS is annoying sometimes)
