Unlike his normal platformer tutorial (changes across screens). His scrolling platform tutorial doesn't have animations, are there rules to follow that apply to both his normal platformer tutorial and his scrolling platformer tutorial? I'm looking forward to adding animations to my game I made with his scrolling platform tutorial.
I will link my project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1137683173

Moved to Help With Scripts

If I’m reading the post correctly, you can add animations if you want. What stops you from doing that?

Griffpatch doesn't show how for his scrolling platform tutorial (The one I used), and I've run into tricky situations when trying to add animations to other platforming projects, such as a generic platform engine.

Animations shouldn't break anything, as long as you switch to a hitbox costume when doing movement. Here's an example:

when green flag clicked
forever
switch costume to [hitbox v]
Movement code here
switch costume to [animationFrame v]
end

If you look at the project now: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1137683173 , you can see I tried that, and the game freezes. The best I can do is have the player switch to a costume at the end of the tick script.

cant you just have another sprite for animation? if you set the hitbox ghost effect to 100 and the animation to always follow the hitbox then that shouldn't break anything.

See the project now, it doesn't freeze, but it's laggy.

Bump, can someone remix and give an example?

Halt Paddle2See, this person may have necroposted, but my question still hasn't been answered yet.
