[MX2004]Attack in 2 directions!-OR operator?

Okay, ive been trying for a looooooong time now, maybe i will eventualy find a less cody solution, lik i did with the enemies “dying” (all i had to do was make a blank keyframe, and have the hittest make the enemy go to that keyframe)

But for now i can’t find a solution.

As I was writing this post, I happened upon an idea. Should I just make another “attack” movie clip, only one that attacks to the left, and have THAT one play when the character is facing the left?

And I am so sure that that will work, that I’ll do it tomorrow when I’m less tired. But for now, I have a question, is there a way to include an “or” type boolean in an If statement? (like for instance && is the and operator, and ! is a negation/not, but there has to be an OR, right???)
