megaman style game ...help

[Chaos_Theory]

k... you know how in mega man...how you run...

pic1 -> pic 2 -> pic 3 -> pic4 -> pic5 -> pic6 -> pic7 -> pic8 -> pic9

pic1 through 3 will only repeat once...while you hold teh button...then it will go into pic 4 through 6 which will repeat until you let go of the btton...when pic 7 through 9 wil play... then you press the button again to continue??? gow do you do that???... ive been trying for like a weekk and i cant fugure it out... i was thinking to put pics 4-6 in a loop that would exit when no buttons are pressed... but i cant figure out how to get it to exit when you let go of the "right or left" arrow keys...

can somebody plz help?

I'm not sure if I correctly understand what you are saying, but here's the basic idea I came up with. The details may be wrong, but you can fix those up:

code:

picNumber = 1 case picNumber of         label 1 :         Draw pic1         picNumber = 2     label 2 :         Draw pic2         picNumber = 3     label 3 :         Draw pic3         picNumber = 4     label 4 :         Draw pic4         picNumber = 5     label 5 :         Draw pic5         picNumber = 6     label 6 :         Draw pic6         if mouse_is_down then             picNumber = 4         else             picNumber = 7         endif     label 7 :         Draw pic7         picNumber = 8     label 8 :         Draw pic8         picNumber = 9     label 9 :         Draw pic9         if button_is_pressed then             picNumber = 1         endif         end case

yah thanks... that seems like it should work... never really thoiought cases could be used like that 8) o well... though...i just want to point out that i didnt want the mouse to clck to keepi it going...so here is what i think would be more useful to me...(and anyone else who wants a similar system) ill sorta explain alil for ppl who may not under stand how my system works...and a lil test for ppl who wanna try it 8)

code:

var pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4, pic5, pic6, pic7, pic8, pic9 : int var RunCycle : int var chars : array char of boolean pic1 := Pic.FileNew ("File Path") pic2 := Pic.FileNew ("File Path") pic3 := Pic.FileNew ("File Path") pic4 := Pic.FileNew ("File Path") pic5 := Pic.FileNew ("File Path") pic6 := Pic.FileNew ("File Path") pic7 := Pic.FileNew ("File Path") pic8 := Pic.FileNew ("File Path") pic9 := Pic.FileNew ("File Path") loop Input.KeyDown (chars) if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then RunCycle := 1 case RunCycle of         label 1 :         Pic.Draw (pic1,x , y, picMerge)         delay (5)                Draw.Fill Box (x1,y1,x2,y2,colour)         RunCycle := 2     label 2 :         Pic.Draw (pic2,x , y, picMerge)         delay (5)         Draw.Fill Box (x1,y1,x2,y2,colour)         RunCycle := 3     label 3 :         Pic.Draw (pic3,x , y, picMerge)         delay (5)         Draw.Fill Box (x1,y1,x2,y2,colour)         RunCycle := 4     label 4 :         Pic.Draw (pic4,x , y, picMerge)         delay (5)         Draw.Fill Box (x1,y1,x2,y2,colour)         RunCycle := 5     label 5 :         Pic.Draw (pic5,x , y, picMerge)         delay (5)         Draw.Fill Box (x1,y1,x2,y2,colour)         RunCycle := 6     label 6 :         Pic.Draw (pic6,x , y, picMerge)         delay (5)         Draw.Fill Box (x1,y1,x2,y2,colour)                if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then             RunCycle := 4         else             RunCycle := 7         endif     label 7 :         Pic.Draw (pic7,x , y, picMerge)         delay (5)         Draw.Fill Box (x1,y1,x2,y2,colour)         RunCycle := 8     label 8 :         Pic.Draw (pic8,x , y, picMerge)         delay (5)         Draw.Fill Box (x1,y1,x2,y2,colour)         RunCycle := 9     label 9 :         Pic.Draw (pic9,x , y, picMerge)         delay (5)         Draw.Fill Box (x1,y1,x2,y2,colour)            end case end if end loop

basically... that should work as is...you just need to get 9 pics ... and change the file paths...so taht iy cna find those pics....

thanks Cervantes... and if you want me to explain this (anyone) just pm me...im getting tired...lmao
