Is There any way to make an Animation without Quads?

You'll need to learn a bit more Lua, in particular how to use variables and conditions, to make stuff change over time.

You hide things by not showing them, i.e. don't draw them during frames you want to not show those sprites.

And how do I do that in love.update(dt)? I tried putting love.graphics.draw in it but nothing happened when I pressed the button I assigned the animation in.

Making it as simple as possible for you

Code: Select all

function love.load()
Animation1 = {}
Animation1 [1] = love.graphics.newImage("walk1.png")
Animation1[2] = love.graphics.newImage("walk2.png")
Animation1[3] = love.graphics.newImage("walk3.png")

Animation2 = {}
Animation2 [1] = love.graphics.newImage("jump1.png")
Animation2[2] = love.graphics.newImage("jump2.png")
Animation2[3] = love.graphics.newImage("jump3.png")
frame = 1
Pose = "walk"
end

function love.update()
frame = frame + 1
if frame > 3 then
frame = 1
end
If playeriswalking() then
Pose = "walk"
end
If playerisjumping() then
Pose = "jump"
end
end

function love.draw()
If Pose == "walk" then
love.graphics.draw(animation1[frame])
end
If Pose == "jump" then
love.graphics.draw(animation2[frame])
end
end
