How to change the player image, when moving

[Piethon]

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:

1 2 3 4 5

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:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

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:

1 2 3 4 5 6

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)

Well...the class "Player" has a get_keys() section and an update section:

1 2	def update(self):         self.get_keys()

I just noticed two lines of code below that:

1 2	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,
