Hello I am a beginner,

I know you can use dbMoveSprite(id, #); to move a sprite up or down,
but now what I would like to do is move the sprite left, or right, is there a command that does that? If not then how would I accomplish this?

You could keep track of the position of a sprite (x, y) and use them with dbSprite().

Some pseudo-code!


Your_Health = (My_Mood == HAPPY) ? 100 : NULL;

I tried but dbSprite(id, x,y, id) seems to not affect the movement of the sprite.

There isn't any function like: dbMoveSpriteLeft() or dbMoveSpriteRight() ?

Are sure you called it in the loop?

If you need you sprite to strafe (move sideways relative to the way you are facing), you can rotate it 90, use the dbMove command then rotate it back straight away.

like matty halewood said,

you could do this,

::left::

dbRotateSprite(ID number,90);
dbMoveSprite(ID number, -(number) );
dbRotateSprite(ID number,0);

::right::

dbRotateSprite(ID number,90);
dbMoveSprite(ID number, (number) );
dbRotateSprite(ID number,0);
