I hope you can help me with the following problem:
I made a character in Illustrator. The player sees the character from above.
When you press the left arrow key character.gotoAndStop('left'); the character moves to the left. (Same goes for the right direction with label 'right'
When you release the left or right arrow key (upKey) the character goes back to the label 'up'.
I'm trying to accomplish the following: When the character is facing down ('down'). the left key should go to the ("facingdownleft") label and on release back to the label ('down'). (Same for the right direction)
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, downKey);
function downKey(event:KeyboardEvent)
{
if(event.keyCode==39){
isRight=true;
character.gotoAndStop('right');}
if(event.keyCode==37){
isLeft=true;
character.gotoAndStop('left');}
if(event.keyCode==38){
isUp=true;
character.gotoAndStop('up');
}
if(event.keyCode==40){
isDown=true;
facingdown=true;
character.gotoAndPlay('down');}
}
if( facingdown == true && isLeft == true)
{
character.gotoAndPlay('downleft');
}
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, upKey);
function upKey(event:KeyboardEvent){
if(event.keyCode==39){
isRight=false;
character.gotoAndPlay('up')}
if(event.keyCode==37){
isLeft=false
character.gotoAndPlay('up')}
if(event.keyCode==38){
isUp=false;}
if(event.keyCode==40){
isDown=false}
}
I made a boolean for facingdown. and an if statement for downleft:
if( facingdown == true && isLeft == true)
{
character.gotoAndPlay('downleft');
}
But before I make numerous amounts of if statements again, I would like to know if I'm on the right track and if you can help me accomplish this? Thank you so much in advance and feel free to ask questions.
