define animation: start costume(start-costume.number) end costume(end-costume.number)

next costume
wait (0.1) secs
end

if <(animation) = [2]> then //change this conditional to any other conditional which begins your animation
switch costume to [costume3] //change this to the first costume of that animation
repeat (3) //change this with the number of frames in one animation
next costume
wait (0.1) secs //or any other cooldown
end
end
//you can have more animations, just repeat this process

I used some stickman sprites that i borrowed for someone, sadly I'm not on the computer that i bookmarked where i got that sprite, but anyways i put it in my game. I used the sprite1, which was for walking. I made a running and jumping game but i didn't use the jumping sprite then, only walking. when it jumped there was no animation. I used the next costume block, just like you would normally use in an animation. It worked perfectly. Everything was working, the stickman could move left, right, and could jump. Now i just had to make the stickman duck and die using the sprites i borrowed. What i didn't realize was that the 5th sprite (last sprite) was a sprite that included every single animation. So i deleted my sprite1 and started working on that sprite5. That was when i got into this issue. How will i make the sprite do the different animations? (once again, running, jumping, ducking and dying.) I can't use the next costume block, because when it moves left or right, it will not only run, but it will do every single other animation. I don't want it to do that obviously. I think you should already understand what I'm trying to say, and i also hope you understood, because i don't really know how to explain my problem. If you read this far, thank you. and please help me if you can, for me it doesnt really matter how fast this gets answered. and i couldnt find a tutorial, so yeah. another thing I would like to mention is that it might move perfectly fine when you see the game, but not to me. I'm one of those people who want to animate EVERYTHING, so i want to make it look more better and cleaner.

((days since 2000) mod (however many frames there are))

when I receive [updateAnimation v]
switch costume to (join (playerState) ((days since 2000) mod (however many frames there are)))

([floor v] of ((days since 2000) mod (frame numbers)))

Did you know you can edit posts after you've created them?

when green flag clicked
switch costume to [first costume v]
repeat until <(costume #) = [number of last costume]>
next costume
end
