Making a Sprite move with different costumes

flabore

So I'm making a pixel game that requires sprites to move.

I'm able to make the sprite move to where I want to by using glide, but I still need help because they switch between costumes to make them look like they are “walking”.

What I need is for when someone clicks an arrow button they go right, left, up or down while still rotating between costumes

when [ left arrow] key pressed
change x by (10)
next costume

I tried that but it's not moving when I press the key.

I'm having it loop through three different costumes with 0.1 second intervals in between

Does this look okay

when [left v] key pressed
change x by (-240)
forever
    
switch costume to [1 v]
wait (.1) secs
switch costume to [2 v]
wait (.1) secs
switch costume to [3 v]
wait (.1) secs
end

Put the

change x by (10)

inside the

forever
    
end

loop

I forgot to mention: change the x factor after each wait sequence

Discard what I said above. Use two scrips in parallel
When left clicked, glide for 1 second.
When left clicked use the timer. Set variable to the timer. Repeat change costume, wait 0.1 sec until variable - timer > 1

Can you set that up in the script in the scratch format? I'm not quite following.

Thanks

How do you get it to move right though????

Look at the date of this original post. It is from 2015. If you have a question create a new topic so the forums can help instead of digging up a 2 year old thread.

The Problem with this code
is that it only gets runned once
unaware until it is pressed again.
Even though it seems like its
moving.

Wow. Does that work? I've never tried it, just assumed it wouldn't.

Even if that rather clever hack works, what the poster should really do is NEVER USE GLIDE. Recode the scripts to do explicit movements.

Glide is evil and messes you up. :-)

Parallel scripts work for glides and animations. The internal code for a glide is a series of moves, I would think.

However, you don't need to use the timer for your animation, just…

repeat (10)
next costume
wait (.1) secs
end

if it is a one second glide.
