How to change the player image, when moving - Piethon - Feb-25-2020
Hello.
I am working on a little game.
I want the player image to change, when you press w or a or s or d.
But somehow the image of the player is not changing.
This is what I use to load the different player images:
self.player_img = pg.image.load(path.join(player_folder, PLAYER_IMG_0)).convert_alpha()
self.player_img_1 = pg.image.load(path.join(player_folder, PLAYER_IMG_1)).convert_alpha()
self.player_img_2 = pg.image.load(path.join(player_folder, PLAYER_IMG_2)).convert_alpha()
self.player_img_3 = pg.image.load(path.join(player_folder, PLAYER_IMG_3)).convert_alpha()
self.player_img_4 = pg.image.load(path.join(player_folder, PLAYER_IMG_4)).convert_alpha()The player starts out with the self.player_img.There is a class for the player, which looks like this:
class Player(pg.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self, game, x, y):
self.groups = game.all_sprites
pg.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self, self.groups)
self.game = game
self.image = game.player_img
self.image_1 = game.player_img_1
self.image_2 = game.player_img_2
self.image_3 = game.player_img_3
self.image_4 = game.player_img_4
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.rect.center = (x, y)
self.hit_rect = PLAYER_HIT_RECT
self.hit_rect.center = self.rect.center
self.vel = vec(0, 0)
self.pos = vec(x, y)
def get_keys(self):
self.vel = vec(0, 0)
keys = pg.key.get_pressed()
if keys[pg.K_LEFT] or keys[pg.K_a]:
self.image = self.game.player_img_1
self.vel = vec(-PLAYER_SPEED / 2, 0).rotate(-self.rot)Although there is the self.image = self.game.player_img_1, it doesn't change the image, when pressing the left A. How can I fix this? Thanks for your help.

Im assuming get_keys function is called every frame in your main game loop? And you blit self.image as the player?
Can you show the rest of your code?

No. I am using Tiled Map Editor to make the game map. I load it with pytmx.
The loading of the player looks like this:
def new(self):
self.all_sprites = pg.sprite.Group()
self.player = pg.sprite.Sprite()
for tile_object in self.map.tmxdata.objects:
if tile_object.name == 'player':
self.player = Player(self, tile_object.x, tile_object.y)(Feb-25-2020, 05:18 PM)metulburr Wrote: Im assuming get_keys function is called every frame in your main game loop?

Well...the class "Player" has a get_keys() section and an update section:
def update(self):
self.get_keys()I just noticed two lines of code below that:self.rot = (self.rot + self.rot_speed * self.game.dt) % 360 self.image = pg.transform.rotate(self.game.player_img, self.rot)I just hashtaged these and now my player image is changing!
Thanks anyways,
Piethon
