[b]Ok hey everyone. It's me again. Just have a small issue with my 2d sprite. Using DarkBasic Classic, I put in the following code with me drawn as Superboy and for some reason 3 Superboys pop on the screen. The 2 are in the top left corner and the other on the bottom right corner and the one in the middle that moves actually moves but he's supposed to walk but it doesn't. He actually just slides to the right and when you go left, his leg lifts up and he walks but it's just to fast and while he walks, he turns around and looks right but still goes left. Any help with this will really appreciated and I promise to help you in the future if you reply. Well thanks

for some reason 3 Superboys pop on the screen.

This bit of code is what makes 3 sprites:

sprite 1, heroX, heroY, herostance+(heroface*3)
sprite 2, 0, 0, otherheros
sprite 3, 600, 400, otherheros+3

0,0 is top-left (sprite2) - 600,400 is bottom right (sprite 3)
I not quite understand why you made 3 sprites if you only want one.


Now the walking - you only have a stand picture and a single walk picture - is this what you want? If yes try this:

I think you may want to give your sprite 4 or 5 frames of animation when walking to make it all look smoother.

In regard to the white area surrounding the character if you have drawn the character on a white background, DB/P will draw the sprite with the white area surrounding it - try filling in the white area with black, because black is not drawn on a sprite (is transparent) so no more white area - hope that helps

Kind of a related question. If black is drwan as transparent what should you do if you want a primarily black sprite but still don't want to have the extra square area around it?

Thanks

Hey Rhaythe! That's a good question. See I'm starting a game starring myself as Superboy (please no applause j/k). Anyway I just outline his hair with a color that would outline his black hair but that's just what I'm doing. Don't do this idea becuz it's not the right answer to your question but is just what I'm doing.

There are lots of colors that show up as black!

0,0,0
0,1,0
1,1,0

up to about

5,5,5

Just use higher numbers for black.

Use 0,0,0 for transparent.

Alternatively, you can create your sprite using a format that supports alpha (like PNG and TGA)

If you must use bitmaps or jpg's though, you can use SET IMAGE COLORKEY to change the transparent colour.

OK got another sprite problem. This time I have 6 frames for left and right but the problem is in my code. You see my sprite only walks left with 2 frames and when you try to go back, the character keeps looking left and walks left with frames 3-6 but is going to the right. What's wrong with my code?
Thanks for the replies.

Hey guys! I fixed the problem with the left side and it works great. Now it's only the right side. It works fine except while I go right, he keeps flipping left and right. Could you show me what to change in my code? Thanks.
