Game Code Issue

[J. Baker]

The following code works except if BoardPush does not equal 3. It just pauses in the AnimateSprite() instead of clipping it. It's the Else that it doesn't seem to get. If I remove lines 2 and 4 it works. But not like I want it to. I also can not get And to work in games either but that's a whole different issue.

Code: Select all

If KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Right) Or JoystickAxisX(0) = 1
  If BoardPush = 3
     AnimateSprite(49, 128, 128, 4, 1, 14, 1)
  EndIf
Else
     ClipSprite(49, 256, 384, 128, 128)
EndIf

I got it. I swear, I can have an issue drive me crazy for days. As soon as I ask on the forum, I figure it out.

So true! It's happened to me so often now, that sometimes I just ask
on the forums immediately so I don't waste days trying to work it out.
There's definitely something about asking the question that makes you
work out what you've done wrong. Someone in the forums had a phrase
for it, but I can't remember what it is right now.

Maybe I should take more breaks. An over-worked mind can make mistakes easily. But good idea, next time I'll ask sooner.

I remember now, it's called "rubber duck debugging":

LOL, that's actually good practice. Since I don't have a rubber duck, I wonder if "crazy dog who pees on my floor from time to time debugging" will work the same.

I used to do this with my Itty Bitty Shitty Kitty(he used to fall into the toilet a lot..), but he has been missing for several weeks now

LOL but I'm sorry to hear your cat is missing.
