Hi, I'm new at programming & I hope someone can help me solve this problem. I'm going to try to make it as clear as possible.

I have a character and I have created two animated sprites of that character. One facing & walking right, and the other facing & walking left.

I have written some code so that when I hold down the rightkey() to make the sprite walk right, it does so with no problem. However, I when hold down the leftkey() to turn it around and make it walk left - I end up with two sprites on the screen. One of them standing still facing right, while the other is facing(& walking) left. Conversely when I try to turn the sprite around to walk right again - I end up with one sprite standing still facing left, while the other is facing (& walking) right.

I would like only the sprite that is currently walking to be on the screen, and I want the directional change to be instant.

I think some how I need to clear the sprite as I change direction. I have tried clearing the screen, hiding the sprite, deleting the sprite, flipping and mirroring the sprite. No luck.

I hope that was understandable. Any Suggestions would be appreciated.

It's because for some reason you are using 2 sprites - and I see nowhere any Hide Sprite to remove the one you don't want to see.

You could use just the one sprite with both animations in it and simply redefine the start and end frame of the required animation when you change direction.

TDK

You don't see hide sprite because I removed it when it didn't work.

So I guess I'll create one animation with six frames instead of 3 each and try what you suggested. I shall return if I can't make it work. Thank you for your time!
