Hi everyone,
Is it possible to have a certain animation play ONLY when you are pushing against a wall and to stop your movement when you are pushing against the wall. Also, when you let go of the arrow keys it has to be able to restore the animations back to stopped. I'm kind of new to this software so I'm not sure if it is possible to do, but I have all of the updates and expansions. Thanks for your cooperation.
Sincerely,

Yes you can do this.
For example, something like this should work:
in an Active object (AO) you can have several animations (directions).
In event editor you write:
AO collides with "wall" & keyboard key "arrow up" is pressed
Under the AO on same line you select 'change animation to "animNameHere"'
Then you can Negate the 'keyboard key "arrow up" is pressed' > change animation to "stop"
=( I tried it, but it doesn't work. He plays the animation for a split second and then switches back to stop. Also, he doesn't stop when he collides with the wall. He just plays the animation "push" and goes straight through the wall. Sorry it didn't work. Any more suggestions? This video game maker program is probably just not capable of doing this...
Sure it can... If you don't use the built-in movements...

Not what you want to say on this forum! <img src="/center/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
It's definitely possible, but may be more difficult than it seems at first - using a custom movement will definitely help, because that gives you more control over the animations played by your object, rather than having the built-in engine handle them.
You need to have a condition that checks whether the player is next to a wall and heading towards it (possibly using a couple of detector objects), and as a result stop and play the Pushing animation.
I'll do it myself if you like. Hang on.
OK, here it is.

Pretty much all animation/objects are coloured squares, as that's how all my projects start off - walking/stopped is represented by the player object being coloured blue, and "pushing" by being coloured yellow.
yes it works... thank you very much!
