Afternoon all.

I have simple program at the moment, the problem is my mind is simpler.... any way moving on. I have pasted the code example in, basicly when I run this program the loop which controls the direction of the sprite works one time. The loop continues however when I press the "left arrow key" nothing happens after the first pressing??

Do I need to reset the value or am I missing the point totally?

Any help would be greatly appreciatred.

Colin.

ReneGade: Sorry mate that made no sence.

Colin: Ok man, well like so many errors the code is doing exactly what you told it to...it is rotating the sprite to the 5degree mark...so next time you press the key it does it again.

However if you store the angle



Try that out and you should get the effect you are after.
Hope it helps

i remember this problem when i was first trying to animate something, it wouldnt stop animating after i pressed the key the first time . I dont know if this is the same, but i finally figured out that i needed "if upkey()=0" statement so try:

dont know if this will work, i dont quite understand ur problem

Judging by what Baggers is saying (even know I was too lazy to move my mouse over the code button...) (nevermind I just did it yeah) you're looking for wrapvalue...which is what Baggers said...so there really is no reason for me to post this...damn.

Er...PRINGLE JINGLE!

How about you add if leftkey()=1 to your code.
