Changing Animations

"To prevent the player standing up inside a wall do something like:

If the player is crawling and down is not pressed then

   change the player size to (39,126)

   if the player is not overlapping wall at offset 0,-1 then

      stand up... set animations etc..

   else

      set size back to (39,126) + stay crouching"

After spending many hours breaking my capx, I haven't been able to get this to work either. <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle">

It was kinda tricky. You have to make sure the player can't jump while crouching, crouch while flying, fly while crawling, etc etc...

I think this covers everything:

Wow! Thanks.

I didn't think to separate the animations from the player object size. Also, thanks for the heads up on instance variables. I tried doing something similar (vaguely) with global variables, but it never worked.

> I've searched around a bit but haven't been able to find an expression to set height or width to a percentage of their original. Any takers?

I believe the only way it's to use a math formula.

Dividing by 100 will give you 1% of the original value, multiplying that value by say 50, will give you 50% of the original value.

tl;dr all answers.

Did you fix the Crawl and Stuck walking bug? <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Yes. The animation now works as I intended.
