Looks like a timing issue, it's in the same tick so it thinks you are in idle animation. You could add a very small wait time above the spawning of it, or rework the events for example if you set the animation in the arrow key event itself then it works.
Not if it's one frame but feel free to share a working link
Link doesn't work but make sure the image points are applied to the whole animation not just the first frame.
You didn't really say the purpose of the overlap but since you are using drag and drop and I am imagining some kind of crafting mechanic, you can add 'on drop' so it's a trigger once to the overlapping conditions. If you grab the UID of the item you picked up you can compare the other item that is overlapping with it 'on drop'.
Well you didn't need to create a new post but if you make the 2 events like I mentioned above it should work. On start of layout is so that the timer starts only once, and then the on timer should be a new event.
Put the timer behaviour on the object
Then say on A key pressed : object start timer, set animation 1
Then say system compare two values, object.timer.duration greater than 2 : set animation 2
Also on A key released : stop timer

Yes if you are having trouble with timers then post again and with a screenshot of the events preferred.
My approach is usually this as one event :
- on object clicked,
- sub event store the UID in an instance variable
- sub event pick all object set opacity to 100
- sub event pick object where UID = instance var, set opacity to 60
Bit difficult with the system condition. You could try using a timer behaviour. For each object on start of layout, start timer for time value 'object.variable'. Then on timer completed, spawn the object and start timer again for time value 'object.variable'. This should work well for picking the right instances.
What exactly is happening and what do you expect to happen? From what we can see this looks ok but we can't see the full event in the screenshot.
I wonder do people even need a tutorial for this?
Not really but people get scared when they see new things
For pickedcount you can set it to a global if you want. There's more info on Families in the manual.
I'm saying the variable for faceval should become a family instance variable then it's easier. As for the logic to check for the straight I mentioned it above but you'll have to work it out. You need to check that any dice is a 1 then a 2 then a 3 etc
Family can be used independently of other events. You use it where you want to pick all of the dice together to find their values. You may have to bring the dice value variable up to the family level though, something called a family instance variable, and go from there.
There's no point doing the array method if you've already started this way. As I mentioned you can use a family to group all the dice into one condition 'for each dice(family)' checks all of the objects.
