I've been doing a platformer with a walking person (Actually Greek God). He has a series of 5 costumes that he uses when walking.
Here's my script:

When gf clicked
Set [Step v] to [RightFoot] //Make it so that he starts walking with his right foot
forever
if <key [right arrow v] pressed>
if <(Step) = [RightFoot]>
Point in direction [90 v]
Switch to costume [StartRightStep v]
Wait [0.1] secs
Switch to costume [MiddleRightStep v]
Wait [0.1] secs
Switch to costume [FullRightStep v]
Wait [0.1] secs
Switch to costume [MiddleRightStep v]
Wait [0.1] Secs
Switch to costume [StartRightStep v]

end

The problem with this is that when you switch direction in the middle of a step, it has to finish the step it's currently on before switching direction. Any suggestions? Sorry if this is too complicated or if I'm not being very clear.

I think I fixed it.

I think I fixed it.

fixed the scratchblocks.

There was an extra end at the end of the forever loop. Anyway, yes, I do have an idea, or ideas, depending on how you look at it. So, somehow you're going to need to change the script so that you can switch directions easily. One method which you shouldn't do is adding in a bunch of if's into your code so that it can exit out easily. For example:

switch to costume [MiddleLeftStep v]
wait (0.1) Secs
if <key [left arrow v] pressed?>
 switch to costume [StartLeftStep v]
 wait (0.1) secs
 if <key [left arrow v] pressed?>
  switch to costume [StartLeftStep v]
  wait (0.1) secs
 end
end

So this works, though there must be some easier method, right? Yes, there is. It involves using these two key blocks:

next costume

switch to costume ((costume #) - (1))

Do you see where I'm heading?

Anyway, I'm going to have to leave the rest as a mystery seeing as I don't have the exact scripts with me right now, and seeing as I have to go.

With regards,
