Animation not playing when a button is pressed when specific things are set.

Ok so basically, I'm currently making a joke fnaf fan game (Big deal I know). And there's this mechanic that if a monster comes in your office, you have to throw a basketball at it. But there's a problem. You see, if I throw the Basketball without the monster inside the office, the correct animation plays. BUT, if the monster is in the room and I try to throw the basketball, no animation plays and he just stands there. I've been trying to fix this for quite a while. But I gave up and decided
to ask the clickteam forums.


And to be helpful here's an MFA.

(It would let me upload it through here.)

Edit: I don't know why it shows me the emoji in the link.

Under Line 2 you've got the following:

* Postion  of YugAi = 2
	YugAi : Set position at (0,0) from Placeholder
	 YugAi : Set IsInOffice  on
	Office : Change animation sequence to YUG
	Office : Start animation

This means that when the variable Position==2, it will keep on changing the animation *back* to "YUG" every frame, which means if you change the animation sequence to the basketball, that event will keep changing it back to "YUG"

one way to fix this is having it only do it once per loop, so any time Position=2 it will do it only the one time (but since the YUG animation doesn't loop it will instantly change it back to the empty office, unless you set the animation to loop *or* stop the animation)

The Line Position of YugAi = 2: runs the whole time that Position of YugAi is = 2. And this line Changes the rooms animation sequence to YUG. Which means that whatever else you're doing - that line is always changing the animation sequence back to YUG.

To overcome this:
Put the lines Position of YugAI = 1 and Position of YugAI = 2 in a group. When the user presses Space Bar - deactivate that group so that the animation will stop changing.
When your animation is finished - activate the group again.

(I had the page open - so didn't see that Marbenx had already answered this ...)

That fixed it, thanks!
