Way to change actor image when spacebar is pressed?

tannerozzy

I'm creating an alien conquerers type game and I want to use about a dozen different images as the bullets/lasers. I've played around with it for a little while, but still can't figure it out. Does anyone know how to set it where every time I press spacebar the actor uses a new image?

Thanks for any help!

global attribute integer = NEWRULE

when spacebar is pressed +1 to NEWRULE

when NEWRULE is x or x or x

create a self attribute in the actor that you are changing the image on (integer attribute).

Rule when space is down
change self.attribute to (self.attribute + 1)%5

NOTE - "5" would allow you to switch between 5 different images so change it to whatever you want.

Name your image files so they are all the same except a number (i.e. image1.png, image2.png, image3.png, etc.)

Then inside the same rule above add this:

change attribute self.image to "image"..self.attribute..".png"

Thanks for the responses. I still haven't been able to make it work though. Could you look at the linked image(s) and see what I am doing wrong?

This is what I have for the rule:

I really do appreciate the feedback. It's great being a part of a reliable and supportive community!

change self.attribute to (self.attribute + 1)%5 should be a change attribute but you have made it a rule condition
