You took the animation out or you set it to destroy the object when the destroy animation was completed?
i just removed the destroy animation itself just leaving the flame animation.
Is the flame animation just one frame?
If you're just destroying it when the animation is finished and the animation is one frame, it'll be destroyed before you can see it. Pad it out and make the animation slower.
i'll try that. it has 3 total frames because its meant to be quick.
lol ok that didnt work, but i was able to make it work...somewhat. since the only frame that would show up was the destroy animation, so i just put the main animation in place of the destroy animation. only problem is, the animation doesnt play.
What exactly is the 'destroy' condition? Is it just 'Animation Stopped is finished' or something like that?
If so, and that's being buggy, try something a little more sophisticated. Make an alterable value on the flame and have it raised by 1 every millisecond, then destroy it once it's past a certain range. And if the destroy animation starts playing indefinitely after that, get rid of it for now.
i have the destroy condition under the flamethrower in my event. i may have to tinker with some values just for that. thanks for all the help man.
Sorry I could only really help break your code a little more! D:
You could make the Stopped animation, say, 10 frames long (if you only have one image then just duplicate it so there are 10 frames of the same image). Then set the animation to loop back to your last frame (in this case loop back to frame 9) Then try this:
+When player pressed fire button
-Create flame sprite
-Set direction, speed, etc
+If flame sprite animation Stopped is playing
+If animation frame = 9
-Destroy flame sprite.
Like Beaul said, the length of the Stopped animation will control how long the flame stays alive. Just add or subtract frames (and adjust the code) to make it longer or shorter. If you go this route, make sure there is nothing in your Disappearing animation.
