Help for a total newbie

What events do I set to allow me to change the animation an object is playing back and forth by clicking on it?

Use the mouse object and it should give you click events to use. Then you use the set animation event.

I highly recomend reading the manual and doing some tutorials.

Here's my exact issue though- these are the events i have set:

-> On left button clicked on WPawn

-> Is animation "Unselected" playing

Action: WPawn- Set animation to "Selected" (play from beginning)

-> On left button clicked on WPawn

-> Is animation "Selected" playing

Action: WPawn- Set animation to "Unselected" (play from beginning)

But when i run my layout, i can "select" my WPawn by clicking on it, but clicking on it again doesn't unselect. Why?

Your psudo code should work. You have a screenshot we can look at?

Nah that won't work because your second event will undo the first one. If it's the "unselected" animation playing and you click - the first event will set it to "selected" and then second event will set it back to "unselected". Try it like this instead:

On left button clicked on WPawn

---Is animation "Unselected" playing

------Action: WPawn- Set animation to "Selected" (play from beginning)

---Else

------Action: WPawn- Set animation to "Unselected" (play from beginning)

But Else can only follow non-triggered events I thought?

And also what if i reversed the order? So first Selected->Unselected, then Unselected->Selected?

The Else follows the 'Is animation playing'. They're both sub-events of 'on clicked'.

Reversing the order will have the same problem when trying to unselect. The second event would set it back to selected.

"Is animation playing" is not a triggered event, it's a "state" checked every tick.

Also the pseudo code ramones gave is executed like this :

User click on a WPawn
1 => If WPawn is playing "Unselected" animation
1 ..=> Set the animation to "Selected"
2 => Else (if WPawn is NOT playing "Unselected", so is playing "Selected" in this binary setup)
2 ..=> Set the animation to "Unselected"

Is this correct?

Please help

Yeah that looks right.. is it not working?

Nope... I can Select the WPawn when i run the layout, but not unselect... Is it something with my animations? I have "Selected" and "Unselected" as the two animations, and they each only have 1 frame.

Please someone help!

Anyone?...

YAYYYYYYY it's working now!!! I didn't change anything, just tried it again a few hours later and it worked. The code works then! I don't understand why the code didnt work earlier though... There must be a major lag between the changes you make in the program and when it actually takes effect when you run the layout.

Thanks to those who helped, sorry i suck at this D:
