Calling different animations in a sprite

Hi,

I have imported 2 different sets of animations in a sprite. How do I call the different animations to start and stop playing in the event sheet? The default animation keeps playing and I haven't been able to find any tutorial on how to overcome this. Can anyone tell me how to do this step by step?

Thanks! :)

Hey,

If your sprite keeps playing, it is set to "Loop" - you can disable this in the animation setting bar to your left.

If you want to start an animation in your game on a given time, do like this:

[CONDITION] If something happens - [ACTION sprite] set animation to ""

You can also set the animation to loop and then stop the animation when you want; then the event ^ will look like this:

[CONDITION] If something happens - [ACTION sprite] set animation to ""

[ACTION] Wait X seconds - Stop animation

Its very simple but if this sounds advanced you should get another one to help you out better than me lol

Sry for bad english.

Hi!

Thanks for your reply. I can't find the looping that you mentioned to disable for the sprite. I will try your suggestion for the event sheet. I am using a free edition of Construct 2. Don't know it that will help much.. <img src="smileys/smiley24.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

When you double click on your sprite look to the left, and you will

see animation speed and looping options.

P.S. Also check out the manual it is very handy!

Hi!

Thanks for the tip! I found the looping. :)

I came across this link: scirra.com/manual/115/sprite

but not sure how it can help me in this. Still looking through tutorials and forums though. Do you know of any good tutorials which I can refer to? :)

Thank you!
