I am trying to aniamate the character in my game using image arrays.
The idle animation is supposed to play all the time when no button is pressed.
If left or right is pressed, the run animation is supposed to play.
And when space is pressed, the shoot animation is supposed to play.
When the idle animation plays, nothing else plays for some reason, even if a button is pressed, and when the idle animation should in theory not even play because the if should prevent it.
The shoot animation shouldn't loop. When I press space, it depends on how long I press it on what frame it ends, and it never plays through.
How can I make the animations work simultaniously without overriding each other and creating a mess?
Here is the code of my character class:
And here is the mover class:
import greenfoot.*;
