drag and drop movement question

[cfullerNY]

i am making a snowboarding game with the drag and drop movement on my player character

what is the simplest way to make it so usually my character faces forwards, but if moving left or right display a animation frame of the character leaning left or right?

You can store their old position as an alterable value, and if the old position is less than the current position, make them face left, and if it is greater than the current position, make them face right. After the checks update the old condition to be the same as the new condition.

thanks LB

so should the trigger for storing the alterable value be when the character starts to move,

when should i compare?

[LB]

There isn't any 'trigger', the events should have only the conditions to compare between the old value and the current value. The third event should just update the old values to the new values with an Always condition.
