So I picked up one of my abandoned games today. It's a Top Down dodgeball games. I am having troubles trying to figure out a method of making the player dash a short distance when double tapping the directional button. I search topics on this forum but was only getting something like double tap running, where the player is required to hold the button to keep running... I would like to have a set distance that they will always dash when the button is double tapped. Any ideas? Anything will be helpful.

A simple method which you could use is to make a counter that times how long the dash will be. (Or use active values).
And then when you double tap, set the counter to 50 or whatever time. Then if the counter is greater than 1 subtract 1 from the counter. (That gives it the time)
Then make an event stating, if counter "Time" is greater than one, make character move faster/more pixels whatever.
Then if you want it to stop before the counter gets to 0, then make a event, that if you do something the counter automatically resets.
This is how I usually do it on TGF, because its easy, and it avoids TGF crashing from weird stuffs.
