I'm trying to figure out how to make my animated sprite change frames when shooting, hit, hit while shooting, etc. I've tried using If statements in conjunction with the Set Sprite Frame command but, as i soon learned, that would set the frame indefinitely. Then i tried using Repeat/Until statements to check for input and then end the loop when the correct key was not being pressed. Finally, i tried using while loops, but that seemed to only freeze the program while the key to shift frames was being pressed. I'm uploading the entire source file so you guys can see. BTW, this is my first attempt at a 2d game so please don't be too harsh on my skill level. There's also a lot of unneeded code in there that i was using earlier for a different method at going at things.

It would be helpful to have the media associated with the project. Any chance you can put it in a zip / rar file and post it up here?

Sure. Here's the media.

EDIT: Taking a closer look at it; I guess I shouldn't post when in such a hurry.

Generally, I never use DISABLE ESCAPEKEY unless I provide a way for the user to exit the game. The way it ran, the game hung up and I had to CNTRL - ALT - DELETE to get out. Normally, I will check keystate(1) for this.

Instead of using 9 different covers, why not use an array (like this)

instead? Then you can do things like this:

and this


which take less typing and are easier to read.

As to the sprite frames problem, it seems that you are creating the animated sprite frames fine, but that you do not actually animate the sprites. In this case, it might be easier to grab the sprite images yourself, instead of using CREATE ANIMATED SPRITE. Setting the sprite image at that point should work fine.
