Queue events or use delay / cooldown

Hey again.
Im still playing around with the MMF.

How can I achieve the following, I want the player character to dash forward after pressing space:

Player press space bar:
- Player set speed 100
- wait 1 sec
- Player set speed 50
- end event


Since im new with the system, Im having problems how to get that working smartly. I can circle around with bunch of shifty conditions, but what I wanna do is just like run a script that says:

player setspeed 100;
wait 1;
player setspeed 50;

+ Spacebar pressed
+ Delay = 0
-> Set Speed to 100
-> Set Delay to 51 (assuming your game has a framerate of 50fps)

+ Delay > 1
-> Subtract 1 from Delay

+ Delay = 1
-> Set Speed to 50
-> Set Delay to 0

Hey, is it possible to get an example MFA file, I dont think I understand the event editor that good yet.

Another way is to create a counter with a default value of 1.

After that, create a group of events that are inactive at the start.
Inside that group, make 2 events.

Every [insert dash length here]
->Subtract 1 from Counter

Counter = 0
-> Deactivate group Dash
-> Change maximum speed to [insert original speed here]

Then outside the group, make 1 event.

Upon pressing [insert dash button]
->Activate group Dash
->Set maximum speed to 100
->Set Counter to 1

Voila, dash.

EDIT: I actually made a tutorial a while back, I'll upload it here.Dashing Tutorial.mfa
