Hello, Hey very good job, but could you show a step by step tutorial. Because as a noob, I don't really know what you did or which steps did you take to make this product.

Thanks anyways, and if not I will figure it out someday.

Nice job lcl

I'm having a little trouble understanding your code though
In the key down event, what does "if (!stop)" mean?
Second, what does "sprintf" do?
And third, i'm having trouble understanding the switch statement for when both keys are pressed.
Could you help me a little?

1. if(!stop) is similar to if(stop==0)

2. sprintf(stringVar, "string") put's the "string" in stringVar

3. the switch statement is if the previous animation was left or leftStop it's changed to leftStop and if prevAnim was right or rightStop it's changed to rightStop

sprintf is one heck of a time saver... I use it almost in every game I make now!

Thanks schnell
but when I said I was confused about the switch statement i meant I was confused why he put case 0 and then put no instructions for it. Same with case 1.
Could you help me with that?

yes
case 0:
case 2:
means if 0 or 2

Aha Thanks

Sorry SuperSonic, I wasn't here to see your post..
I would have helped you if I saw it earlier.

And youbob1212:
The code works by printing the animation name to global variable and then changing that named animation for the actor. ask more if you need to.

Sorry SuperSonic, I wasn't here to see your post.

That's Ok
But maybe you could explain why you did not set any instructions after case 0 and case 2

so you want him to explain it or didn't you understand what I said?

Oh, yeah I should have commented also those lines.
0 and 2 are animations facing left and 1 and 3 facing right.
This code

Code: Select all

switch(prevAnim)
{
    case 0:
    case 2:
        sprintf(anim, "charStopLeft");
    break;

    //and so on with cases 1 and 3..
}


works just the same as this would:

Code: Select all

if (prevAnim == 0 || prevAnim == 2)
{
    sprintf(anim, "charStopLeft");
}
//continues with prevAnim == 1 || prevAnim == 3

So, if two cases are put in line without break; between them they will share the same code until break;

Did that help you?

Oh Ok, I was still a little confused even after schnell explained it but I understand now
Thanx
