Help! Animation issues...

Stryfe01

I've tried lots of different ways over several months, but just can't get this to work properly. Can anyone help out?

My ninja jumps, and it sometimes animates fine. Other times it doesn't run through the full animation, and always freezes in the last frame when he collides with a platform. Not to mention, that it looks like he is having a seizure if he is jumping and moving forward. I am using the Utopian games template for my ninja if that helps.

The last thing that I tried, was to set the animation to run while the linear motion y was greater than 0, and for the falling animation to play when it was less than 0. Sort of works, but again when he lands on a platform it just freezes in the last frame. I tried to shoot a video, but i'm on a budget and don't want to pay for a screen video capturing tool just yet.

I have heaps of animation issues also, I think it's a bug The animation feature needs an overhaul, like resizing images in the animation! good luck

Wait try this.

Create a Rule - When Jump button is Pressed. Timer > for 5 seconds > Animate

That worked for me on one thing. Try messing with that.

Thanks ozboybrian! That worked for the regular jump and the unofficial "double jump". Any suggestions on how to get it to work properly when you've jumped, and your moving in either direction? I'm using you help as a staring point, but could use all of the help that I can get.
