Hi. I was wondering how I might be able to create an array that I can apply sprites for a 2D "game" that im making. I have very limited experience with DBP, but enough to implement things such as sprite animations and crappy free movement. Can someone plz help me?

Way Points... pointA(X,Y)----pointB(X,Y)---pointC(X,Y)

DBPro has Vec2.. use those.. you can read from them, two integers.

Hope that helps.

How would I create the array for it?
Im still kind of a noob to 2D programming so it would help if you could explain it, if you dont mind.

One thing your going to have to do to become a better programer is to dissect code.

Look at this post, this will help you to point objects and sprites..

https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/744

After you figure how to point, point a sprite in any xy location then move in that direction. Utilizing newxvalue () and newyvalue ().

Get also the "distance function".
Use it to know how far you have to travel.
Xy----------------distance-----------xy

This might take you as a noob a few days to master.

You'll get it.. peace.

By array movement, do you mean the character can only move to certain locations? (waypoints, as CodeName has said)

Define what a waypoint is. In our case, it's only a location.
Type Waypoint
x as float
y as float
EndType

Create an array for waypoints:
waypoints as Waypoint[10]

Define the waypoint locations:
waypoints[1].x = 10 : waypoints[1].y = 8
waypoints[2].x = 185 : waypoints[2].y = 75
waypoints[3].x = 68 : waypoints[3].y = 123


Point your character to the location of a specific waypoint then move forward until you reach it!

I think he means something like this

For T= 1 to 10
Position Sprite(T,waypoint[T].x,waypoint[T].y)
Next T

I also think he wants to define the locations in an "array" such as in a memblock.
...10,8,185,75,68,123

maybe he wants to build a world out of sprite blocks???
