i want to run a separate animation for an ability then the main one because i have a separate character that i use both for enemies and hero, but i can't figure why the separate ability animation won't start see the code @@@@@@@@@ class Slash(pygame.sprite.Sprite): def __init__(self, x, y, direction): pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self) self.speed = 7 self.image = slash_img self.rect = self.image.get_rect() self.rect.center = (x, y) self.direction = direction def update(self): #move slash self.rect.x += (self.direction * self.speed) #check if slash has gone off screen if self.rect.right < 0 or self.rect.left > SCREEN_WIDTH: self.kill() #check collision with characters if pygame.sprite.spritecollide(enemy, slash_group, False): if enemy.alive: enemy.health -= 25 self.kill() class Slash_attack(pygame.sprite.Sprite): def __init__(self, x, y, direction, scale): pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self) self.update_time = pygame.time.get_ticks() self.images = [] for num in range(1, 5): img = pygame. image.load(f'img/slash/slash{num}.png').convert_alpha() img = pygame.transform.scale(img, (int(img.get_width() * scale), int(img.get_height() * scale))) self.images.append(img) self.frame_index = 0 self.image = self.images[self.frame_index] self.rect = self.image.get_rect() self.rect.center = (x, y) self.counter = 0 def update(self): #update animation SLASH_COOLDOWN = 100 #update image depending on the current frame self.image = self.images[self.frame_index] # If the animation has run out, reset to the start or keep at the last frame self.counter += 1 if self.counter >= SLASH_COOLDOWN: self.counter = 0 self.frame_index += 1 # If the animation has finished, kill the slash if self.frame_index >= len(self.images): self.kill() # remove the slash attack sprite else: self.frame_index = 0 Continue reading...
