So in my project my sprite has a few states:
Walking Left
Walking Right
Jump Right
Jump Left
Stand right
Stand Left
Crouch Left
Crouch Right
Crouch Walk Left
Crouch Walk Right
As of right now I haven't added the picking up guns, but eventually I would like to get to that point. I see this big bottleneck of work coming up though. Right now my sprite is just carrying a rifle, but eventually he will be able to pick up a shotgun, pistol, etc. What would be the easiest way to go about this? The only way I know how to do this is maybe making a new sprite for each weapon carried. I also recently took a look at that fighting game remake and I saw that the foot of the guy was a separate sprite. How could I make my character be two sprites like that? Torso and legs. My torso wouldn't have animations really, but when I pick up a gun I could switch to a frame in that sprite? That way I could only have one sprite of legs, and then the top sprite with the guns. Or maybe there is an even easier way I can't see. I'm all ears.
