I would like to detect when the spacebar is pressed and released (tap of the spacebar), which would then fire a roll. I am also assigning Sprint on the spacebar so not wanting to use GetButtonUp or GetButtonDown for doing the roll. It would simply be a tap of the spacebar, then the player rolls. What action is necessary to do this?
I have tried GetButton, GetButtonDown, GetButtonUp, Get Key, GetKeyDown and GetKeyUp. The Get Button and Get Key works good for storing the result in a variable. The rest works good for detecting when a button is pressed down, or when the button is released, and alternatively storing in variable if needed.
However, I'm not finding a way to detect when a key is pressed and released immediately. So from the idle, run, or sprint the spacebar is tapped (pressed and immediately released), and the player rolls. Any ideas?

Maybe after the KeyDown switch to the state that wait for KeyUp for ~0.3sec and if Key are not going up - it was not a tap so switch to "not a tap" state.

Good idea. I made an FSM with Get Key Down, Wait at 0.2 seconds, Get Key Up, and Play Animation. I haven't been able to play the animation yet, and not sure why that part isn't working.
But, the spacebar tap works good when viewing the FSM at runtime. I will not know for sure until I can fire the animation but overall it looks good. When holding the spacebar down, it detects as not a tap and returns to listen. When the spacebar is tapped, it fires to the roll state. Thanks for the help :)
