I have a problem with putting in a animated sprite as shown in the code. I have other sprites in and working but now as the project gets larger it will not take any more animated sprites. When it gets to the setspriteanimation line I get error sprite dose not exist. It will create the sprite just if I add that line it quits. I have tried to delete a sprite then add a new one. That also dose note work. In searching I found where Rich had a problem close to this but I don't know if he found a answer. Anybody have this problem.

When you use the createsprite() command in that fashion don't you need it to store it in a variable as it returns the sprite number? E.g

Spr = CreateSprite(newmissile)

Your code is wrong! That's why it isn't working. =) When you use "CreateSprite" with one parameter, you get an integer with the created sprite index. You're not catching this index, so that's why it is screwing up.

(Btw, be more specific with the naming of variables. 'newmissile' is not descriptive in the least. to be frank, it sucks! Do 'newMissileImage' and 'newMissileSprite' for instance, and then you can disconcern them apart when creating stuff )

Try this code on for size:


EDIT: Yes Hodgey you are correct, when using that form you need to catch the return value.

No problem! That's what we are here for! =) Like I said, just try to be more specific with your variable names - it will certainly help a lot when it comes to debugging bigger projects.
