This code wont run. I'm trying to change the "playerSprite" into another picture under certain conditions, but turing crashes after a while. I've seen posts on pic.free and its not working. Here's a section of the code:

% Player Positioning Process Toward Left Side
process playerPositionLeft
loop
if playerXValue > enemyOneXValue and playerYValue = ground then
Sprite.Hide (playerSprite)
Pic.Free (player)
player := Pic.FileNew ("playerBlazeFlipped.bmp")
player := Pic.Scale (player, 152, 165)
playerSprite := Sprite.New (player)
Sprite.Show (playerSprite)
Sprite.SetPosition (playerSprite, playerXValue, playerYValue, true)
delay (20)
View.Update
end if
end loop
end playerPositionLeft

% Player Positioning Process Toward Right Side
process playerPositionRight
loop
if playerXValue < enemyOneXValue and playerYValue = ground then
Sprite.Hide (playerSprite)
Pic.Free (player)
player := Pic.FileNew ("playerBlaze.bmp")
player := Pic.Scale (player, 152, 165)
playerSprite := Sprite.New (player)
Sprite.Show (playerSprite)
Sprite.SetPosition (playerSprite, playerXValue, playerYValue, true)
delay (20)
View.Update
end if
end loop
end playerPositionRight

fork playerPositionLeft
fork playerPositionRight


pls help Sad

In this case you are running out of sprites, not pics. You need to call Sprite.Free before Sprite.New. However, you can use Sprite.ChangePic to change the sprite's image without having to use free or new.

I also recommend you use procedures instead of processes. You'll probably run into all kinds of strange bugs that are otherwise Impossible to fix if you don't.

I never thought someone would respond about turing. Thanks so much I'll try it! This really means a lot it's for my final!
