[@Ninfro]

How do I add a running animation to my sprite? I have the frames, and when I try to do it, it just flashes back and forth between the running animation frames with the idle(cat) frame coming in between each running frame. I guess its cause the hitbox and idle/cat costumes are in a forever loop but idk how to get around it.

[@user-lx7iy4mq9w]

me too brother

also for anyone checking this guide still works although you may have to rewatch it a bit

[@jxspr_]

hey, could you do a quick tutorial off of this video on using move animations, i cant figure it out because whenever the costume is changed the forever loop overides it.

[@vesnapostic6412]

That would be great!

[@lukelukeamiridze]

[@FxEditz_007]

Can you make another tutorial where you add magma, more levels etc?

[@flamingisgaming]

i have a problem. my player is literally just bouncing on the ground and making it hard to move

[@exranz2552]

thank you! there was a bug where if i hold W (jumping up) when the cat is in the air, if he touches a ceiling he will be stuck there until i release W. I used this as a mechanic for my game instead! Is there any way to add walking animations to your character?

you probably forgot to check screen refresh

nice, the ceiling stick tho...

What do you mean? Does the player get stuck on teh ceiling? Read out the code or send me the project link and I'll check it out if you want.

[@muister325]

@@JacksonAcademy1 I fixed it, maybe I missed it in the tutorial but within the "if key w pressed" you have to put an "if amount is < 0 around the" set y to 20 that fixes it

I can only move left ad right but not up and down and if i move for to long i go into the walls...

🤗 U R THE BEST CZcamsR I HAVE BEEN SEE

[@whatnot1235]

Basically it didnt work but I made it "work" so Im having a TSA competition soon and my game I need levels on and atleast 3 minutes of play time so the bug was if you touched the lower layer floor you'd be stuck so I turned that into the floor is lava pretty much by editing some script and you shake quit a bit so Im calling it Shaky tower of lava game pog right?

[@whatnot1235]

Edit:Rage of the lava glitch game.

[@grimreaper6913]

for some reason when i click the green flag it doesnt spawn me like normal and it just drags my cat to the left wall

[@JacksonAcademy1]

If you still have the project I can look at your code and help you out.

[@BurntDrPepper]

Thank you, but I do have a glitch. Whenever I run into a wall, it slowly pushes me out kinda like quicksand.

[@JacksonAcademy1]

Let me check

[@kanasengsavanh1237]

O know the problem is that you need to make the my blocks run without screen refresh

[@plantwubboxgaming]

i used this and the setting turned into outer space (i mean like the player is floating up and i cant control it)

After making verticle it just floats can u fix that

works great. except i didnt get the collision thing with the costume switch. my character collide and then transform to the hitbox and teleport to the other side :)
