GameMaker [Solved] how to change image_index for a drawn sprite?

[tobiasgjerstrup]

hello guys. I was wondering how you change the image index for a sprite that you draw (not the sprite associated with the object)

draw_sprite() has a subimg argument which is the frame of the sprite to draw.

You can change the built-in variable 'image_index' a lot of ways.

image_index = 3; // Set to 3 (the 4th image of your sprite, because the first frame is 0)
image_index ++; //Increment by 1
image_index --; //Decrement by 1
image_index += 3; //Increment by 3

Note the built in variable 'image_speed' will cycle the variable 'image_index' on its own, unless you set

image_speed = 0;

So that is what the subimg is for. Thank you
