Problem with moving animation- please help me

[Luke playa]

i have a big problem, the same game problem can be seen in the "Platform Game Tutorial", of the GE. If i press down the right key, my char move right, and Change Animation to make him walk right, and when I "Key up" (right), I Change the animation to "Stop Right". The same sistem for the left. but, when i hold down the keys "right" and "left", he stops. this is ok, but when i release one of the keys, the Char simply "slides" to the right or to the left... this happens because the current animation becomes "Stop right" or "Stop left", thanks to the key up event. HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?


PS: to see the problem by yourself, enter the GE, open the "Help" window, enter "Demo Making Of" and "Platform Game".

Simple answer: on the key up, check that the other key is not down, and then change the animation. Otherwise, do nothing.You might want to do lots of fancy things for getting it to work right. Such as with the key down, constantly checking the animation.

when the left or right key is released:

Code: Select all

xvelocity = 0;
