Question regarding the event_preform function..

[Ayziak]

I have a collision event, which I need to use to set off a keyboard event in another object. Here's the code I used:

//Collision Event
event_perform_object(obj_char, ev_keyboard, ord("A"));

My problem is that since a collision event triggers every step, only the first line of the A-key event in obj_char is triggered, an analogy would be, like setting a timeline in a step event. Is there a simple way to make the whole event play through, only looping at the end?

So you want to trigger it once?
If its that so, you need a variable tracking that this event is performed or not.

if(EvenStarted==false)
then
{
event_perform_object(obj_char, ev_keyboard, ord("A"));
EvenStarted=true;
}

Then at some point you reset back the variable.
