Display the standing sprite

[differentialgiraffe]

There is a bug in my game that if you stop walking or landed on the ground, it won't display the standing sprite. Can you fix this?

[mas]

In this case, I'll assume you have a standing (facing left) and a standing (facing right) sprite. I would use a temporary variable to track each of the conditions. If at the end of them all, the variable isn't set, then I would swap the left or right standing sprite for the player and exit.

In my current game, I have to do something similar as I have set 8 sprites for up, down, left, right and the diagonal combinations.
I have to check each key in turn and record which keys are pressed together; and try to ignore opposing keypresses.

I'll repurpose a little of this:

EVENT PLAYER

;; key codes for checking
; 0 = no key
; 1 = left
; 2 = right
;; not a key, but will check airborne to
; 4 = airborne detected

LET OPT = 0 ; temp variable 0 = unset
IF KEY RIGHT
ADD 2 TO OPT
ENDIF
IF KEY LEFT
ADD 1 TO OPT
ENDIF

IF AIRBORNE <> 0
ADD 4 TO OPT
ENDIF

IF OPT = 1 ; left key only
LET IMAGE = 3 ; left image
ENDIF
IF OPT = 2 ; right key only
LET IMAGE = 2 ; right image
ENDIF
IF OPT = 3 ; left and right keys
LET OPT = 0 ; left and right pressed together goes nowhere
ENDIF
IF OPT = 4 ; airborne
LET IMAGE = 0 ; airborne image
ENDIF
IF OPT <> 0 ; we are moving, we'll animate the image - only do it here or it advances too many frames
ANIMATE SLOW
ELSE
;; in this case, we are not moving or falling or rolling around etc.
LET IMAGE = {your standing image, possibly checking direction to face the correct way}
ENDIF


Hope that helps or gives you an idea of how you might approach it.
