How do I...?
#1

I’m new to GDevelop and i have ran into a problem
Im trying to make a sprite Change animations when i press a key and then change back to another animation when i release that same key.

However when i try to put the events right next to eachother the animation never plays regardless of me pressing the key or not

Hi, you have two diverging conditions in one event block. At the moment you have to press and release the s key at the same time. Even if that would be possible two animations of your sprite cannot play at the same time. So you have to use two event blocks.

A big suggestion from my side is to make one or two of the tutorial projects, they cover all the basics of the engine and how the event system works GDevelop 5 tutorials [GDevelop wiki]

thanks for the help ^^

I also have a question, how can i round a number to a certain decimal place?

There are several expressions to round a number, for example:
round(number); roundTo(number, number)

You can read about all expressions here and choose one that fits your case. Expressions reference [GDevelop wiki]

Aside from that, if you search the forum there is a big chance that this kind of question has been asked before. :slightly_smiling_face:
