how would you do this?

I have an actor with a walk going right. the walk has a animation. I also have a shoot with a shoot animation. when I walk and shoot at the same time, both animation play at the same time and starts to glitch. Is there a way you can destroy the animation with a new one in order to work? or is there a better solution?! I've been trying to figure this out for a while. Anyone here can help?

create a boolean game variable called SHOOTING.
If you have the shoot button down, SHOOT is TRUE
Otherwise, SHOOT is FALSE

If SHOOT is TRUE
you use the walk and shoot animation

If SHOOT is FALSE
you use the walk animation

Thanks, I tried doing that but it still glitches.. I might placed it wrong... how would you set that up?

you have to make sure that both conditions can not be true at the same time. It sounds to me like there is a logic error in your code where both conditions are being fulfilled, so you are getting a double positive.

Are you making sure to set your SHOOT variable back to FALSE when you are no longer touching the fire button?

If that is not the problem there are a couple other things you could try:
you could nest the conditions (if shooting, then shooting anim, OTHERWISE if walking, then walking anim).

Or you could add extra conditions to your statements to make sure you are not getting douple positives (if shooting and walking then... , if walking and NOT shooting then...)
