Sprite drawing

I'm having a little problem with making an object draw sprites at its own position.
In the draw event I have this code.

Code:

//draw all the body parts
draw_sprite(spr_player_body,facing,x,y)
draw_sprite(spr_player_hand,facing,x,y)
draw_sprite(spr_player_gun,(point_direction(x,y,mouse_x,mouse_y))/360*22,x,y)
//draw the feet, if the player is walking draw the feet walking
if hspeed == 0
draw_sprite(spr_player_feetr,0,x,y)
if !hspeed == 0
{
if hspeed > 0
draw_sprite(spr_player_feetr,-1,x,y)
if !hspeed > 0
draw_sprite(spr_player_feetl,-1,x,y)
}

The variable facing is to tell which direction the object is facing in, it has been created, and changes when the left and right keys are pressed. spr_player_feetr and spr_player_feetl are sprites of the feet walking in different directions, so when hspeed is 0 it draws the feet not moving, and when hspeed is over 0 it draws feet walking right, and when its under 0 it draws them walking left. But it doesn't do that. It always draws the feet just not moving, and when the player jumps the feet disappear altogether. Can someone please fix this? Thank you for reading

make all codes relative.

Try this:

Code:


if hspeed == 0
draw_sprite(spr_player_feetr,0,x,y)
if hspeed != 0
{
if hspeed > 0
draw_sprite(spr_player_feetr,-1,x,y)
if hspeed < 0
draw_sprite(spr_player_feetl,-1,x,y)
}


What you did, was "if !hspeed == 0", and that makes little sense. It should either be "if !(hspeed == 0)" or "if (hspeed != 0)". The position of the ! and parathesis does matter. That's why I don't like the sloppy syntax of GML, it makes everything harder -_-

ALWAYS use parenthesis around an if-statement, no matter how short it is, and ALWAYS use brackets "{" after the if-statement. It will save you so much trouble later on.

Thanks for the tip, but it's still not animated. That's solved the problem of the feet disappearing when the player's not on the ground, but the feet aren't walking. Is there anything else I can try?

what if you editted the speed of the image.

Game Maker always does stuff like this to me.

Try this (it's basically the same thing Hepolite did):

Code:


if hspeed == 0
{draw_sprite(spr_player_feetr,0,x,y);}
else
{
if hspeed > 0
{draw_sprite(spr_player_feetr,-1,x,y)}
if hspeed < 0
{draw_sprite(spr_player_feetl,-1,x,y)}
}


Make sure you dont have any code that is interfering with the image_index of this object that may cause the feet to stop moving; such as image_speed = 0. And aslo make sure that these sprites are actually animated as you want them.

Thanks guys but it's... still not doing what I want it to do. I don't know why it's doing this to me, and things like this always happen.
