When this happens you'll only see the first frame. You could try adding an 'only one action when event loops' to the condition that changes to the climbing animation. n/a

vetmora120 Registered 07/01/2010 Points 273	4th May, 2011 at 10:09:12 - Oh, that would probably be because you are not colliding with the ground. In the event for the jumping animation, add 'if animation climbing is NOT playing'. n/a

Then you'd have to have another event check to shut that flag off whenever he's not overlapping a ladder AND wherever you have the walking animation (and etc) make sure that it won't change to walking animation unless that same flag is off. Maybe that will work? -- "Del Duio has received 0 trophies. Click here to see them all." "To be a true ninja you must first pick the most stealthy of our assorted combat suits.

Animations are 0-indexed, so that if you have two frames, the second one will be 1, and the first will be 0. What are your animation settings? Is it set to loop? In the settings, the frames are 1-indexed so don't let what I just told you confuse you. Sandwich Time!Whoo!

I even just put "when flag 0 is on > play animations climbing" and it didnt work. and yes i did force it to number 1 in the expression editor when i tried that. n/a

Sometimes only having one or two frames of animation can cause problems, although very rarely. What is your animation speed? Since you are using flags, did you Turn Flag #0 off at Start of level? (Assuming the hero doesn't start the level on a ladder.) n/a
Eternal Man [EE] Pitied the FOO Registered 18/01/2007 Points 2955	7th May, 2011 at 02:40:18 - It seems that you're having conflicing code. The program is probably telling it to show multiple animations at the same time, like jumping since the character isn't on the ground and climbing since you're going up a ladder. Try finding what animation it's trying to play(probably the jumping animation) and making it so that when climbing up a ladder a flag is set on + tell it to only display the jumping animation when that flag is off. //EE Eternal Entertainment's Code'n'Art Man E_E = All Indie ...actually Ell Endie, but whatever.
