How do I Sense which way the player is going without using

Hi guys How do I Sense which way the player is going without using platform you see i have so code for npc's to find there way around but i need the animation to make them look like they walk down when they move down etc

Hi LaurenceBedford,

If you're using the pathfinding example I posted, one way would be to pin (position only) a new sprite with the npc animations to the moving npc sprite, check the moving sprite's angle and change the animation accordingly e.g.:

If moving sprite angle between -45 and 45 set animation sprite's animation to "walk right"

If moving sprite angle between 45 and 135 set animation sprite's animation to "walk down" etc

Hi mekonbekon i am indeed using your example but using the angles doesen't seem to work

Hi Lordshiva1948 I love your tutorial but its nor exactly what I'm looking for if you take a look at this capx made by mekonbekon his sprites move around perfectly etc but if i add this code to my RPG how would i get the NPC to play the face right animation when its moving right etc

I don't see any capx you mention

Here you go, I've updated the capx to include the animations:

There's a separate sprite "npcanim" added to a container and pinned to the initial npc sprite that does the moving. I've set the npc sprite to invisible so that you only see the npcanim sprite.

mekonbekon Thanks dude its brilliant your awesome at coding keep up your activity on the forums!
