Description
Part 4 - "Sprites and Animation" contains a slight error in the code.
In step 3, the code is supposed to "end with the player in their 'neutral' pose (legs together), that way each time we animate the player, it will return to the correct frame as soon as they stop animating"
However, that doesn't seem to be working. After moving, the animation always stops on the last frame where one leg is out. Maybe the player sprite got updated after the tutorial and the frames changed?
Either way, the solution is simply to move the first frame numbers in each array to the very end of the array, like this:
animation.add("lr", [4, 3, 5, 3], 6, false);
animation.add("u", [7, 6, 8, 6], 6, false);
animation.add("d", [1, 0, 2, 0], 6, false);
That way the animation sequence will end with the neutral pose.
Another solution I found online was to add the code below after if(up || down || left || right){:
else if(animation.curAnim!=null)
{
animation.curAnim.curFrame = 0;
animation.curAnim.pause();
}
