CALL_PATTERN

Syntax

CALL_PATTERN(sprite-number,ascii-code)

Description

This function changes the character pattern (shape) of sprite sprite-number without affecting any other characteristics such as size, location and velocity.

Parameter sprite-number specifies the sprite being modified (1- maxsprites). Parameter ascii-code may be any integer from 32 to endchar. The sprite will take the shape of the ASCII character in ascii-code. Only active sprites are affected.
