Walking + Animation?

BossGamer2004

Hey, I'm kinda new here, and I know how to make the sprite walk using the arrow keys and I know how to make the sprite change costume for animation. I just don't know how to get the sprite to move with the animation and how it stop when the arrow key isn't being pressed. My last attempt had the sprite move right but constantly shift through the walk animation forever. My Scratch game is supposed to be a fighting game and the character isn't supposed to be able to move all over the screen. They're only supposed to move right and left. Anybody have any tips?

here is how you would do that.

make a script for walking, for example:

then for you're walking animation, you would make another script with the if key pressed using the same key as your movement key. like this

if this dosent work, please let me know!

Can you share your project? How many costumes are in each animation set? How many sets are there? (idle, walking, running, jumping, falling, punching, etc)

There are several ways to animate but will help if we can see how to implement it with your other scripts and with your costume sets.

Here's a platforming tutorial that includes animating sprites: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/67727504/

This won't work. It will always change the costume once space is pressed.

Then it's because instead of:

you need to do:

do this script

Is there a way I do not have to use the “next costume” block? Like, if I wanted to add a walk cycle to both the -10 and 10 steps?

Yes, but always best to start a new topic. This one is originally from 2018.

You can use a variable to control the speed of the animation. Here is a quick example. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/383305591/

Okay, if this is still in use, I have a question: When my walking animation is on for a game,and then I jump, the walking animation continues,and my jump animation doesn't show, why is this, also you can check it out.. I posted it, and it is called prototype, cuz I haven't finished it, but basically, my dog will walk, but when I walk and jump, it will jump, but the jump animations won't show. You should just look at it to under stand. Press the right arrow key and then up arrow key, and you'll see that the dog jumps, but the animations will not come up. If you jump without pressing the right arrow key, it processes and the jump animations happen, but it just stays in place. Oh and a FYI, the game is a scroller platformer game. Is that a reason it doesn't work? Someone help!!!
