Stopping the animation after you let go of a key
- by Michael Zeuner
What I have right now is an animation that starts when I press space:
if(input.isKeyDown(Input.KEY_SPACE)) player = movingRightSwingingSword;
However when I stop clicking space my animation continues. until I move my player, how do I make it so it stops the animation right when you let go of space?
A few lines
Animation player, movingUp, movingDown, movingLeft, movingRight, movingRightSwingingSword;
int[] duration = {200,200};
public void init(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg) throws SlickException
{
Image[] attackRight = {new Image("res/buckysRightSword1.png"), new Image("res/buckysRightSword2.png")};
movingRightSwingingSword = new Animation(attackRight, duration, true);
}
public void update(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg, int delta) throws SlickException
{
if(input.isKeyDown(Input.KEY_SPACE)) player = movingRightSwingingSword;
}
