anyone willing to look over and fix for me?

Alright then that's all I need to know. I'm gonna modify your file a bit, but don't worry I will comment everything I've changed.

you are my savior

Finished, should have it in your email.

nothing yet but I'll keep checking. Thank you so much. It really means alot to me that you would take the time to do this

shinkan:

It works great! Thanks again. It takes a special person to take time out to look at someone's work for them. Greatly appreciated.

Now to look it over and see what I was missing.

You're welcome. Just ask if you need more help.

you're my go to person

right off the bat I can see changing sprites to "figure" simplifies things!. makes so much sense when you see it.

In Paid version we have a Families - in short, you can set multiple objects of same type to act as one. That's why asked about version you have.

In your file I've somewhat emulate this making one sprite holding all other sprites as different animations.

but yeah. It's all very complicated until you see how it's really done

shinkan:

How did you get the sprites to all use the same name of "figure"?

I think I have it. I cloned the first sprite and then changed it to what I wanted...Is that the right way to do it?

scratch that..it didn't work

If you clone one sprite object called "Sprite1" it will make new object called "Sprite2". But if you copy "Sprite1" it will then create new instance of same "Sprite1".

And that's what I did. And same you did with Buttons.

I tried that but after copying, I need to change the sprite to a different one but when i do, it changes both of them

so I'm guessing the cloned sprite doesn't necessarily need to be different, just the name of the cloned sprite?

Different image inside sprite, or different animation?

If you only want to change current animation or animation frame you can do that in properties windows on the bottom left while Sprite object is selected.

Cloned sprites are different objects If you have actions for Sprite1 and you cloned it to Sprite 2, actions will work only for original sprite1.

got it. thanks again. working as intended
