Platforming Animations Left, Right and Jump Separate

Youth Learning Center STL

Hello,

I am a videogame design teacher who has a question about programming animations in a spiderman platforming style game.

my student is attempting to have spiderman shoot when the C key is pressed with a corresponding animation, even when spiderman is moving left or right. However, the programming is jumbled when those two events occur so when he moves or does not hold don the C key, the animation stops and reverts back to walking animations.

Essentially, I need the shooting animation to finish regardless of whether he keeps moving or lets go of the C key or both.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, if you need clarification on what the heck Im talking about feel free to ask.

Inside your actor you need to add a boolean attribute called "shooting" when C is pressed change shooting to true. then put your run animations inside a rule, the condition of this rule should be if "shooting" is false, then in the other wise of that rule put in the shooting animation with loop uncheck, finally add a second rule in the other wise of section, the condition of that rule should be if self.image is (then write in the file name of the final frame/image in the shooting animation) change shooting to false

hope that helps
