Animation Game with Arrow Keys?

[luckyduckstr]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Im trying to create a game with sprites
and when the arrow keys are pressed itll show a certain animation of the sprite doing it
e.g. when i press right itll show 20 frames of the character running

What is the problem you are having?
how do i make it so that it the character will move in the screen but the character will also go through the 20 frames

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1.1

What have you tried so far?

[luckyduckstr]

ill ive done so far is to make the sprite run through the 20 frames

Okay, so what's preventing you from changing the coordinates that you draw at from one frame to the next?

[luckyduckstr]

ive done this
loop
Input.KeyDown (chars)
%
%If the user presses the Up arrow key
%
if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then
%Hides the standing still sprite
Sprite.Hide (standR)
Sprite.Hide (standL)

% Loading each picture into the array
for i : 1 .. 11
pics (i - 1) := Pic.FileNew ("up" + intstr (i) + ".bmp")
if Error.Last not= 0 then
put "Error loading image: ", Error.LastMsg
return
end if
end for
sprite := Sprite.New (pics (0))

%Animate picture
for i : 1 .. 11
Sprite.ChangePic (sprite, pics (i mod 10))
Sprite.SetPosition (sprite, maxx div 2, maxy div 2, true)
Sprite.Show (sprite)
delay (100)
end for
Sprite.Free (sprite)
Sprite.SetPosition (standR, maxx div 2, maxy div 2, true)
Sprite.Show (standR)
end if
end loop
however when i add a "+50" to the maxy div 2 it shows the sprite move the 50 then go through the animation
how should i place the movement in between the animation

i also have this before the top coding
%Declare Variables
var chars : array char of boolean
var pics : array 0 .. 45 of int
var sprite, standR, standRID, standL, standLID : int

%Initialize standing sprite
standRID := Pic.FileNew ("standR.bmp")
standR := Sprite.New (standRID)
standLID := Pic.FileNew ("standL.bmp")
standL := Sprite.New (standLID)

%Starting picture
Sprite.SetPosition (standL, maxx div 2, maxy div 2, true)
Sprite.Show (standL)

Hi,

In the future would you please use code tags?

Code!

So to make your gut move your have to change the position of the sprite each time you draw a frame:

code:

loop     Input.KeyDown (chars)     %     %If the user presses the Up arrow key     %     if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then         %Hides the standing still sprite         Sprite.Hide (standR)         Sprite.Hide (standL)         % Loading each picture into the array         for i : 1 .. 11             pics (i - 1) := Pic.FileNew ("up" + intstr (i) + ".bmp")             if Error.Last not= 0 then                 put "Error loading image: ", Error.LastMsg                 return             end if         end for         sprite := Sprite.New (pics (0))         %Animate picture         for i : 1 .. 11             Sprite.ChangePic (sprite, pics (i mod 10)) %-->        Increase (or decrease) the x or y value here each time you change the pic             Sprite.SetPosition (sprite, maxx div 2 + i, maxy div 2, true)             Sprite.Show (sprite)             delay (100)         end for         Sprite.Free (sprite)         Sprite.SetPosition (standR, maxx div 2, maxy div 2, true)         Sprite.Show (standR)     end if end loop
