going insane trying to get this to work

[discord]

Hi

I'm trying to make a game where you can scroll through 8 nodes on one side of the screen, and press a button to release a soldier from that node. however, i can't get it to work with scrolling back and forth between more than the first two nodes. i've tried global variables, flags, a counter, no matter what I do it just refuses to work properly when a third is added in.

what i'm trying to do is by default the top node starts at a second animation frame, then when you press down arrow key the first one reverts to its original frame and the second one now displays its second frame, then up key goes back to original state etc. i can make it so that the top two you can quickly switch back and forth to between the arrow keys. however when I add a third, when I press down both the second AND third node display their 2nd frame, even though I have not told the third one to do it. its driving me absolutely crazy trying to get this to work

much love to anyone that can help me out
