if the top piece has 2 animations(left and right)
and each animation is 1 frame, use this code on its draw actor event,
Code: Select all
if(player.x < x)ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "your_animation_for_left", FORWARD);
if(player.x >= x)ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "your_animation_for_right", FORWARD);

:D

Man... figured it out, I was saying "animpos" when my brain was thinking "animindex" ... man I was getting frustrated... anyway, for anyone else reading this to accomplish the same goal here. It's:

(In the enemy draw actor script: In this case animindex0 is the animated enemy walking right, and animindex1 is him walking left.)

if(animindex == 0 )dir = 0;
if(animindex == 1 )dir = 1;

(This in the event that causes the enemy to shoot, in this case a timer)

if(dir == 0 && player.x > x) {
CreateActor("Rocket", "Rocket360", "(none)", "(none)", 25, -42, false);;
}
if(dir == 1 && player.x < x) {
CreateActor("Rocket", "Rocket360", "(none)", "(none)", -25, -42, false);;

}
Thanks Sparky

Code: Select all
if(animindex == 0 )dir = 0;
if(animindex == 1 )dir = 1;


Can be replaced by

Code: Select all
dir=animindex;

Yes, xD
I orrigonally gave him the code so he could use it with velocity then
it got switched it around to animindex. :D
