@Codeabin I really don’t need the sprites, I have 2 different sprites there and I can see them flipping as I press on the right and left arrows. You may need to change walkTimer=2 at the top of your code and also at the end of the touched() function.

42

@Codeabin, those images look identical… Might be why you aren’t seeing the walking effect.

43

Dave try them please.

44

Images are different conpare the legs

45

Ok dave i got it to work it was because it was switching to fast for the eye to see.

46

Is there a way to make the sprite point left, instead of adding a whole new walk event for the left arrow

47

Use a shader to flip the image.

48

I have no clue what you mean

49

@Codeabin You need 2 sets of sprites. On going right and one going left and you need to use the correct set. No shortcuts.

50

@JakAttak I was going to suggest that, but I thought he wouldn’t understand.

51

Or use a variable set as a the positive width, then the event changes that into a negative width

Its in what I showed you on Skype

52

Dave is it possible to flip those images for me im not near a computer right now.

53

@CodeaNoob That works great. Learn something new everyday.

54

@Codeabin, here is an example of what CodeaNoob meant:

function draw()
    -- This sets a dark background color
    background(40, 40, 50)
    sprite("Documents:space",WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2,1024,768)
    --sprite("Dropbox:Ship",WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2,2800,526)
    sprite("Documents:earth",WIDTH/2,-225,1750,1050)
    sprite("Dropbox:Ship",WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2,2800,415)
    
    
    -- sprite draw
    local w, h = char.width, char.height
    if walk2 then
        w = -char.width
    end
    sprite(char,charP.x,charP.y, w, h)
    sprite(arrow,arrowP.x,arrowP.y)
    sprite(arrow2,arrow2P.x,arrow2P.y)
    
    -- walk left/right setup
    if walk==true then
        charP.x=charP.x + 1
    end
    if walk2==true then
        charP.x=charP.x - 1
    end
    -------------------------
    
    if walkAnimation==true then
        walkTimer=walkTimer + 0.1
    end
    
    if walkTimer > 1 then
        char=readImage("Planet Cute:Character Horn Girl")
    end
    if walkTimer > 2 then
        char=readImage("Planet Cute:Character Princess Girl")
    end
    if walkTimer > 2 then
        walkTimer=1
    end
    
    -- Do your drawing here
end

@Codeabin It looks a lot better when you have the correct sprites. Good work.

58

Just something I thought, Why not put the move right button on the right side of the screen?

59

I need helpers badly, so if your willing to help write code tell me.
