How do you make it so that if the person is standing to the right, and he punches then he punches with the right punch animation, and if he is standing to the left, then he punches with the left punch animation?

On the top of page 2, Sgt Sparky lays out how to set up a directional variable, though it is set to which direction the actor is moving, you can adjust with an animindex setting to capture all the:standing facing right, walking right, standing fracing left, walking left, etc. and apply it to what you want. Your next step would be to modify each of your keydown events, changing them into script which will have the same (if dir==0/1) type of coding as the above post.
Repost for help if you cant figure out how to apply it to your game.

I... cant get it to work

add this to your Left Key Down/Key Up event and of course make a variable called "Left" and "Right"

Code: Select all

Left = 1;
Right = 0;

and on your Right Key Down/Key Up

Code: Select all

Right = 1;
Left = 0;

Now On Key Down For Your Punch Button Use

Code: Select all

if(Left == 1)
{
      ChangeAnimation(ThePunchLeft, Forward);
}
If(Right==1)
{
     ChangeAnimation(ThePunchRight, Forward);
}

I dont know if this works but i've always wanted to try it.

make a variable called direct,

Code: Select all

char*key=GetKeyState();
if(key[KEY_LEFT] == 1)direct = 1;
if(key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1)direct = 0;


and when he punches,

Code: Select all

if(direct == 0)ChangeAnimation("PunchRight", Forward);
if(direct == 1)ChangeAnimation("PunchLeft", Forward);

by the way, attacking right and attacking left are both the same button, i was thinking(cuz im bad with codes) mabye i could make 2 invisible regions, one is right and other is left,(infinite y, and the x is as big as it needs to cover the playing field), if the opponent is on the right side and i press punch then i use the right side animation, and vice versa, do you think this would work?,(by the way i will parent the regions to the player)

that would not work.
why not just use one of the codes mentioned above(They would work)

[Kooldudese]

ill try the codes

[Sgt. Sparky]

okay!

umm if there is two animations for left punch and right punch is it the same?, 50%50% chance for every punch to happen.

oi, you must seperate them first.
