Hey! Great forum here.

I've been working with AGK2 for the past few weekends. It's my first time using a game engine other than a few lazy tutorials in Unity. I'm new to programming and all that it entails as well.

That said, I have been going crazy over the past few days trying to figure something out and I would love some help. I'm sure it's a simple fix, but my brain is going every which way and I'm about to lose it. ha

Overview: My character has a sword that I want to be able to swing both left and right (static and moving) with animations playing. I have the animations working fine only when the character is moving left and right, but I can't get them to function when the character is static on the screen.

I'll attach a screenshot and I'll attach some crappy code. I can post more information if needed.

Thanks for your time!

//Sprite Velocity
SetSpritePhysicsVelocity ( 1 , GetVirtualJoystickX ( 1 ) * 650 ,
GetSpritePhysicsVelocityY ( 1 ) )

//Jumping
jump = GetVirtualButtonPressed ( 1 )

if jump > 0
SetSpritePhysicsVelocity ( 1 , GetSpritePhysicsVelocityX ( 1 ) , -jump * 1000 ) //500
endif

//Sword
Slice = GetVirtualButtonPressed ( 2 )
Position = GetVirtualJoystickX ( 1 )

if Slice <> 0 and Position > 0
PlaySprite ( 1 , 40 , 0 , 2 , 11 )
elseif Slice <> 0 and Position < 0
PlaySprite ( 1 , 40 , 0 , 12 , 21 )
endif

I think that position more or less that cause the problem. maybe can add if position=0?

Awesome graphics btw. Great job

Thanks for the response, hoyoyo80! I had attempted that previously and almost got to where I needed to be, but I'm just shy of what I'm trying to achieve.

The following is what I have now:

//Sprite Velocity
SetSpritePhysicsVelocity ( 1 , GetVirtualJoystickX ( 1 ) * 650 ,
GetSpritePhysicsVelocityY ( 1 ) )

//Jumping
jump = GetVirtualButtonPressed ( 1 )

if jump > 0
SetSpritePhysicsVelocity ( 1 , GetSpritePhysicsVelocityX ( 1 ) , -jump * 1000 ) //500

endif

//Sword
Slice = GetVirtualButtonPressed ( 2 )
Position = GetVirtualJoystickX ( 1 )

if Slice <> 0 and Position > 0
PlaySprite ( 1 , 50 , 0 , 2 , 11 )
elseif Slice <> 0 and Position < 0
PlaySprite ( 1 , 50 , 0 , 12 , 21 )
elseif Slice = 1 and Position = 0
PlaySprite ( 1 , 50 , 0 , 2 , 11 )
endif


The character swings the blade just fine when static, but it's always to the right, even when the character is facing left. I've tried everything,, but it's just this one hump I can't get over for some reason. If you can give me any further help it would be much appreciated. Thanks again for your time!

Also, thanks for the compliment blink0k! I wasn't too sure about them.

Maybe can add a state on which the sprite is currently facing?

spritefacing=1 //default 1, 1 is right and 2 is left

so when the directional button press,this spritefacing will change accordingly and add this factor to the slice direction. Sorry i use the word "maybe", quite new to AppGameKit
