[EliGigi24]

Hello, im trying to make a character with animation, walk/run/idle so lets say i want to Run animation turn on, i want to get the key "w" to make it move to run animation, i tired to use "Get Key" but seems its isn't working for me, anyone have idea, or guide? how to play animation by keys?

I am using get key down and get key up to play or stop animation. When I was using get key  then I have to  store it in some variable which is bool type. After that You can use bool test to run or stop animation.

In order to set it up the way you explained with your prone example. you would simply add another Get key down action in the walk/run state that looks for the prone button then switches to the prone state instead.

so you'd have 3 states....Walk/Run/Prone.

When you press ctrl from either the walk or run state, you would have it transition to to the prone state.
