Shooting animation with DavidN's platform engine

[UnicornP]

Does anybody know the proper way to make shooting work in DavidN's platform engine? I really like using it because I have total control over my character without the use of extensions. Does anybody know how to let me change the animation with it to shooting? Or "launching"

In the events you set up for animations (walking, stopping, etc), have a condition for "[X] Repeat While Pressing Shoot", so it won't change your animation while you're shooting. Then, you can have an event for While you're pressing shoot, set the animation to shooting.

Normally I think that would work. But with this engine there is a detector on the ground to tell if i'm touching the ground. And if you are on the ground then the stop animation plays negating my shooting animation.

As I said, add a condition to test for when you aren't pressing the shoot button to that event, and then it won't reset your animation while you're standing on the ground.

Yeah it's just a matter of setting conditions on what animations play and when.
