If the Create Animated Sprite Command is
Quote: "CREATE ANIMATED SPRITE Sprite Number, Filename, Across, Down, Image Number
"

Then why does it give an error for
Quote: "create animated sprite 1,"Ogre_Attack.png",1,128,128,1
"

parameter for 'Create Animated Sprite' does not match sprite number, filename,down,across, image number..?

But
Quote: "create animated sprite 1,"Ogre_Attack.png",1,4,1"


Works but wont show the full 128x128 image

I have attached a little demo I made which shows the proper use of create animated sprite and sprite sheets.

Hope it helps.

My apologies to the dbp community concerning, my choice of sprites.

Hello,

Quote: "Then why does it give an error for
Quote: "create animated sprite 1,"Ogre_Attack.png",1,128,128,1
"
parameter for 'Create Animated Sprite' does not match sprite number, filename,down,across, image number..?"


Because the number of parameters is not correct. You are giving 6 parameters to the "create animated sprite" command but it only needs 5:

Sprite Number=1
Filename="Ogre attack.png"
Across=1
Down=128
Image Number=128
?????=1

Quote: "But
Quote: "create animated sprite 1,"Ogre_Attack.png",1,4,1"

Works but wont show the full 128x128 image
"


Again:
Sprite Number=1
Filename="Ogre attack.png"
Across=1
Down=4
Image Number=1

This should work with if image 1 is composed by 4 images vertically. Why are you expecting the full 128x128 image?

Best regards

JF

Ah i see i thought "create animated sprite 1,"Ogre_Attack.png",1,4,1"
was creating sprite 1 using frames 1-4 sprite 1

in the example code that comes in the HTML help of dbpro it says

CREATE ANIMATED SPRITE Sprite Number, Filename, Across, Down, Image Number


Quote: "create animated sprite 1,"manwalking.bmp",1,16,16,1
cls
sprite 1,100,100,1
play sprite 1,0,10,100
print "sprite frame ",sprite frame(1)
do
loop
end

"

Yes, the help for CREATE ANIMATED SPRITE is wrong and the example code is wrong as well, since you can't play frame zero. Perhaps one day the help files will be put right.

@Rich Dersheimer
If i remember well in previous versions of the editor the 0 frame was the start frame.And the example was working back then.Help files and examples need to be updated from time to time.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
I often edit my posts, that`s who i am

@luskos - I wasn't aware that it ever worked that way. But the example has more problems than just starting from frame zero. I think, instead of updating help and examples from time to time, they should be updated when the commands are changed. But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
