My platfomrer "skates?"

Hello, I'm new here and new to Construct. For the last few days,

I've been fiddling with it, trying to make the basics for a

platformer, but I've ran into an unusual problem that I can't

seem to fix. I'm thinking that the answer is simple, but it

eludes me.

My little man can run and jump with proper animations, but if you

hold a run key while landing, he appears to "skate" across surfaces

until touching a barrier. Could someone please point out what I'm

missing so that I can continue? Thanks a ton!

The problem is, to put it simply, your animation system was way too complicated. <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I reworked it for you to only use a few events. It's much easier to follow now and (unless I'm missing something) works exactly the same in the end. Lemme know if you have any questions about it!

The sound might not work the way you want it to, so feel free to change all that. I didn't pay much attention to the sound.

Thanks a ton Sully, this is much better! Like I said, I'm quite new at

this, so I figured I'd over-complicated things. I'll try using this, and

try to keep my events a little more streamlined from now on.

thanks again!

No problem. Welcome to Construct 2 by the way! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
