AnAL Animation problems

Post by Ranguna259 »

Hello again lovers

I've found out that I can't use löve's physics to code the player so I've decided to re-write player.lua without them.

The problem is that I can't get the animation to play all the frames.

When the rectangle falls to the ground and when you press 'a' or 'd' then the player should move right or left (it does) and it should also play the walking animation, player.anim, which was built with a 3 frame image called 'walking.png' in the lines 31 and 32 but when the animation playes it only shows 1 frame.

I want to know what I am doing wrong with the animation and how to correct it.

Thanks for reading, I've attached a .love file with a main.lua and all the images.

(the animation is loaded in the lines 31 and 32 and it's played in the line 137)

You need to call "update" for the animation, not just "draw". Currently it never moves on from the first frame. This can be fixed by simply adding:

Code: Select all

player.anim:update(dt)
to the end of your update function.
