Rookie image_index Question

[SmallyBiggs]

If the following code must be placed in the step event, :

if hspeed > 0
{image_index=spr_bird_right}

if hspeed < 0
{image_index=spr_bird_left}

how do I prevent it from not playing the sprites animation? At the moment the object moves, but the sprite's animation doesn't play.

Thanks!

You are confusing sprite indexes and image indexes.

Sprite Index: spr_bird_left

Image Index: 0 , 1 , 2 , 3, etc.

Image Speed will automatically cycle the image index at whatever speed you set.

Aha! Thanks!
