Set an animation frame between angles using 8Direction

I've been trying to figure this out all night and its driving me insane. I've read the tutorials on isometric and on 8Direction animation and i can't get what i'm looking for.

I have 8 individual frames (i've put them on in one image for this post, but they're separate frames. I also, messed up and switched frame 5-6 in the illustration)

All I want is for the animation frames to line up properly with which key was pressed.

I have it so the first frame is facing right and is set to 0° so, I figured if i broke 360° into 45° chunks i could check the players angle and have it snap to the frame.

The images were rendered out in Blender with the camera set to 45° isometric angle. so, i'd like the sprite to stay heads up and change the frame based on the angle for all 8 directions.

Could anyone help me with this?

You have 7 angles, so 360/7= 51

Lets say at angle 0 the animation would be frame 0 if you renamed the frames from 0-6 rather than 1-7

If we were to say the angle was 180 we could say that the angle/51 = 3, or the 4th frame.

The frames system is pretty good at rounding things, but it would be wise to get just the whole numbers using int().

Edit:

Just realised you are using 8 frames. Didn't see them all, forum scrolls images.

So divide by 8 rather than 7.

Yeah, but 360 / 8 = 45° which is what i am currently doing. with the, "is between" conditions in the OP. If i'm misunderstanding, could you post an example possibly? Like I said, I've tried doing it multiple ways even using flags so when 'W' and 'D' or 'A' are pressed together, switch to NE or NW frame.

No need for the comparison.

Just set the frame to the angle

frame = int(angle/45)

okay, so i've done what you said with setting the frames based upon the angle (0/45,45/45,90/45,135/45...etc)

Where I'm confused is, what should the condition be since we are no longer comparing if the player is within a range of angles? Sorry if this seems obvious, i'm just not getting it.

You're using angles wrong. They go from -180 to 180. Change the numbers and it should work fine. Remember that, for the left direction you should check for less than -157.5 OR greater than 157.5!

There is only one event.

sprite set frame to int(sprite.angle/45)

That would only apply if say you were using angle(x1,y1,x2,y2).
