[SOLVED]Animation!

[Arclord]

Hi,
Is there anyway to create animation from a sequence of single images rather than spritesheet?

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Sure. Insted of cycling through an array of quads, shift through an array of images. Adapting from a spritesheet model should be quite simple.

Just store the images you want to use in a table, and have a constant that refers to the currently displayed image. Something like this

Code: Select all

images = {}
images[1] = love.newImage(...) --add lots of images
currImage = 1 --stores the number of the current image

function draw()
	love.graphics.draw(images(currImage),...)
end

function cycle()
	--cycles through the different animations one step, call this every once in a while
	currImage = currImage + 1
	if currImage > #images then
		currImage = 1
	end
end

It says - attempt to call table value.

Thanks for the reply.

Haha, too much MATLAB for me recently.

Code: Select all

images = {}
images[1] = love.newImage(...) --add lots of images
currImage = 1 --stores the number of the current image

function draw()
	love.graphics.draw(images[currImage],...)
end

function cycle()
	--cycles through the different animations one step, call this every once in a while
	currImage = currImage + 1
	if currImage > #images then
		currImage = 1
	end
end

I made a mistake. Still, this is just pseudo-code. Just use it as an example of the idea rather than copy-pasting it into your own game. If there's some part of what I'm doing you don't understand, feel free to ask.

Also, not to be a jerk, but you break the forum rules. When you ask for help, make it easier for us to help you. Most important of all, post .love-files. Saying "I get this error" doesn't make it easy to help you.

Sorry, I forgot to post the love file. Here it is.

EDIT: attachment removed.

Thanks

Picking the i:th value of a table is table, not table(i) like I wrote first.

Also, you need to call cycle every once in a while.

[Arclord]

Yes. got it. Thanks T-Bone for your time and help.
