Character_Movement

[Violet_Lindsay]

How do I make my character switch to the left sprite , or right sprite, or center sprite or down sprite when the player presses the keys and moves? This confuses me.

I got :
- obj_main_left,
-
obj_main_right,
-
obj_main_up
-
and obj_main_down

Thanks for helping me!

The sprite_index function may be of great use to you.

EDIT
I should say, there is also the image_xscale instance variable, which you can use to flip your sprite about the vertical axis. This way you don't have to have multiple versions of the same sprite flipped.

I should also say that sprite_index also isn't a function, it is an instance variable. My bad.

Oh okay thank you Cofefe

Forgot that code function...

Np, and I did edit my original reply to add some more info too, plus correct my mistake in labeling a variable as a function.
