At this moment I have collision and animation down, but there is still 1 more thing I want to add to my movement before moving on to harder more complicated things. My codes as simple as

LeftKey()=1 THEN Sprite 2, X, Y, FRAME_UP

But now I want my sprite to stop at a specific frame when letting go of which ever key is being used. Here's an example of what I'm trying to say

LeftKey()=1 \\ It plays a simple animation and moves left
LeftKey()=0 \\ Stops the sprite on a left direction sprite

So when it stops it faces the way it was going in the animation.

Now I've tried doing

LeftKey()=0 THEN Sprite 2, X, Y, Standing_Left

But when I do this to all the keys, something glitches and all of them seem to be messed up when letting go of any specific key. When letting go of Up it goes Down, Letting go of Left makes it look Up, ect.

Also, if someone could give me some tips on how to creating the sword animation for my sprite (Link to the Past Clone) type of game.

Sorry if this doesn't make any sense, I was in a hurry writting it.

Thanks in Advance.

Yeah well Leftkey = 0 will always be true if you are pressing the rightkey, so you are not going to get far with that. You need a Flag. If leftkey = 1 then FlagLeft = 1: Flagright = 0

If rightkey = 1 Then Flagright = 1 : Flagleft = 0

Now you have switches that will work. You need to switch on the one that is being used, and switch off all of the others.....Including Up/Down. I did not show up/down in my example because it is easy to understand.

Hmm try this.


If leftkey() = 1 then Standing_Pos = Standing_Left

If rightkey() = 1 Then Standing_Pos = Standing_Right



If LeftKey()=0 and rightkey() = 0 and upkey()=0 and downkey() = 0

Sprite 2, X, Y, Standing_Pos

Endif
