Animation help needed :(

I think Classic Construct 1.2 has a bug or i am doing something wrong here.I tried to create an animation where the character has to swing a sword when i press the spacebar button while the character is running.Im using the platform behavior with animation tags for walking , idle ,falling and jumping.But it does not seem to go to the swing sword animation when i press spacebar while the character is moving.

Am i missing something here?.I tried set ignore user input while the sword swing animation is playing but that does not seem to help at all.Seems that i cannot create any other actions via animations except for walking falling idle and jumping.If anyone can help out with a cap file that shows me how to do this properly i would be most great full .

You want play one animation while other animation is playing on the same sprte? isn't that a paroadox?

I know But how can i fix this??.The character must be able to move while performing the sword swing animation.

maybe you could split your sprite in half and make two different sprites. Lower Sprite for walking, runing etc. and upper for attacking, waveing hands...

Off course.Thank you skinkan.That should work.

Nope sorry ,It's still ignoring the sword anim even if i create a separate sprite for that particular animation.Oh well, back to oldskool programming for this project i guess.I got it right with Wolfen but this other project just refuses to switch to another animation or separate sprite.

Maybe i should re install construct classic 1.2.Wolfen works fine with v 99.97 but it has the same anim problems with v1.2.

could you share a cap file to see what's going on there?

Sorry I deleted the cap.I will use XNA for that particular project because i want to go 3d with that one.But i fixed the problem with Wolfen though , I just had to remove the "Tags" from the animations.And i had to create a few variables for the diff actions.No biggie ,Problem Solved
