Fervir THat looks awesome! Very similar to a Zelda style Action RPG I have been brainstorming, I love it! What did you use for animating the multi-segmented enemy? Is that multiple sprites pinned, or something else?

Use your graphics app of choice, save the separate pieces of your sprite (arms, legs, etc...) as separate .png files and use spriter to create the animations with them. I am loving it so far.

also depending on if you want pickups, you can use the basics of the powerup section of my wall jumping tutorial for the actual sprite pickup piece on page 8. Tutorial link is in my signature...

it would be easier to help if you would post the capx file to dropbox so we can take a look at it. It will go much more quickly than trying to figure it out based on video, etc...

I would say most likely it is because you are not using a dedicated collision sprite pinned to the enemy. If you look at the collision polygon it is most likely changing shape in each frame of your animation. Your animation also seems very jittery. Similar to the platformer tutorials you should use a transparent sprite for collisions so the shape does not change during animation frames.

Reading the manual is a good step before posting questions on the forums don't you think, especially as the fellas who run the site can't tell if you took a course on it somewhere else...

blazah99 You mean something like the Z-Order controls that were added in release 120? I am assuming you haven't read the manual recently or haven't been keeping up on releases?

Reading the manual, replying to posts, look at the badges listing for other ideas on how to get more rep. I had enough rep to post links, etc... after my second day of joining the site, the goal is to make sure it is really people instead of just those looking for a quick way to post spam links...

jayderyu Yeah, from what the spriter videos and update info show, it looks like skinning, etc... is on the drawing board for the production release...

jayderyu Can't you just create multiple animations and then swap out the images in each one accordingly? Spriter lets you swap images at any point in an animation.
