Hi there,

for pressing a key while standing on a hotspot you should rather use a "Region" instead of a "Hotspot".

So: create a new region in the room editor (create it in the same place as the hotspot). Then click on "Interaction..." for this region and choose "While Player stands on region".  Now you choose "Run Script" and type in the following:

if (IsKeyPressed(65)==1) {  // 65 is the ASCII code for the letter A
AnimateCharacter(THEONE,5,5,0);
}  

Now the animation should play if the player stands on the region and presses the "A-key".


Did this help you?
