How do I test for a direction change?

I'd like to check if the player has changed direction, is it possible without messy variables to set and test directions?

One variable and one event would usually do:

Give the player a variable oldAngle

player compare variable Oldangle is not player.angle

Add your events

set oldangle to player.angle

That's actually a really good idea, I used PlayerObject.Platform.VectorX > 0 and Press Left Arrow or PlayerObject.Platform.VectorX < 0 and Press Right Arrow, I think your method might be better for controls that aren't just left or right so I'll try implementing it that way, shame C2 doesn't have a built-in test for direction change though!

Well, because most of the time angles are changed by events, it isn't really nescessary..

This:

" PlayerObject.Platform.VectorX > 0 and Press Left Arrow or PlayerObject.Platform.VectorX < 0 and Press Right Arrow"

Sounds perfectly fine, but for something like that I'd use a state machine..

Also just one variable a textvariable set to "left" while moving left, "right" while moving right..
