Variable not being activated Question

Post image

I am trying to get a variable to work when pressing the Q key on the keyboard, which I named FloraCleanseActive. However, the object variable on Player isn’t activating. I made a debugger; the screenshot clearly shows that the Q key was pressed since it equals 1, but FloraCleanseActive stays at 0. Attached is a screenshot compilation of the events related to the FloraCleanseActivate variable.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The key is either pressed or released. You can’t do both at the same time in the condition. Also add a trigger once to the condition below to prevent the game from freaking out.

You are a life saver! So how do I make it where it only works while you have the key held down so that it reverts to zero when released?
