I need help. ;(

I am making a game called "Insomnia". It's a 2d horror game. I'm having a bit trouble with player movement, I have the movement part nailed down but when I move the opposite direction that the character is facing, it goes in that direction, but when I left go of "A, left movement" the characters texture will go back to the right, could anyone tell me how to fix this? I have two separate textures for both the character facing left & right.
Example:
Pic #1: Walking whilst holding "D" Pic #2: Walking whilst holding "A" Pic #3: When I stop holding "A"
My current code:
I hope I made this fully understandable.

You have to check what's the last key held down by using
love.keyreleased), and use that to decide where the player's facing

Like Nixola said, you need to figure out what the last key held down is. Since you're only using two directions you can do it this way:
Code: Select all
local moveKey
local playerImages = {}
playerImages["idle"] = love.graphics.newImage("textures/character_idle.png")
playerImages["left"] = love.graphics.newImage("textures/character_left.png")
playerImages["right"] = love.graphics.newImage("textures/character_right.png")
function love.keypressed(key)
if key == "left" or key == "right" then moveKey = key end
end
function love.keyreleased(key)
if key == "left" or key == "right" then moveKey = nil end
if key == "left" and love.keyboard.isDown("right") then moveKey = "right" end
if key == "right" and love.keyboard.isDown("left") then moveKey = "left" end
end
function player_draw()
love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
love.graphics.draw(playerImages[moveKey] or playerImages["idle"], player.x, player.y)
end

Wouldn't it make more sense to do that in keypressed rather than released?

No, because if you press and hold right, then press and hold left, then release lef love.keypressed can't know it and it will continue facing left

I'm sorry to say, but it did the same thing as before. ;(

Did you use that variable to draw the correct animation?

I don't understand why I would need to implement one, but here is the .zip. Just open it with love.exe
