AGS does not like my fairy

[Volcan]

Hi.

I used MoveCharacterBlocking(FEE,150,50,1); in my game. My fairy walks but without animation.

I tried MoveCharacterBlocking(JASPER,150,50,1) unstead. IT works. Jasper walks with animation but not my fairy.

I didn't get error when compiling my game. What's wrong?

I found a bug in AGS.

If a view has only 2 pictures, the animation does not work using MoveCharacterBlocking command.

I add 2 more pictures and the animation works. And the fairy does not walk, she flies. That why 2 pictures was enough to see the fairy flying.

Nota: I used AGS 2.54.

That's probably because the first frame of the walking view's loop is the "standing still" frame and the ones after that are the animation frames...

Also, why not add more frames to give the fairy a hovering effect?

You are right AJA.

I added a standing picture to the view Jasper to verify your theory. It works.

Does the manual mention about standing pictures and animate pictures on the same view?

Also, why not add more frames to give the fairy a hovering effect?

Thanks for the suggestions terranRICH.

Does the manual mention about standing pictures and animate pictures on the same view?

Yep, it's there... Though it's hidden pretty well.

try to search for standing still. Look in Getting Started with AGS - Part 7 tutorial section of the manual.

Hmm good point, I was sure it was mentioned in the Characters section - I'll add a mention for the next version
