How do I do events more efficiently?

I'm trying to wrap my head around events.

Here's an example I'm working with. If the user clicks a mouse, I want ONE of two things to happen.

1. Mouse click - If there is NO wall to the player right, I want the player to move 32 pixels right.

2. Mouse click - If there is a wall to the player right, I want the player to move 32 pixels up.

The point of doing this is to have the player climb over blocks, but only blocks one 32x32 block high.

But I have that nagging feeling that I could write these events another way. Any advice?

On Left button Clicked

(subEvent)

Player

Platform has wall to right

Player>Set Y to Player.Y -32

Else

Player Set X to Player.X +32

On Left button Clicked

(subEvent)

Player

Platform has wall to right

Player>Set Y to Player.Y -32

Else

Player Set X to Player.X +32

That's what I'm missing. How do I insert an "Else"?

by pressing X, or right click on your event

On Left button Clicked

(subEvent)

Player

Platform has wall to right

Player>Set Y to Player.Y -32

Else

Player Set X to Player.X +32

in SUB EVENTS you can add ELSE statements

You can use Else at the top level. You can't add Else to a trigger.

This is really great. Now I can apply all the logic I've been using in C and JavaScript!!!

I looked for this kind of info in the docs but didn't find it. I think my next blog post will cover this.

Thank you for all your help. Who'd a thunk it was "X"?
