I have a problem that hasn't been figured out. Here's what I have so far and the reply I've gotten...
I need to change my player's expression when shooting fireballs. I have the shooting part down, I just don't know how to cycle in the frame of the player's shooting motion. Please help.
Thanks!

Expert:
So, you have a walking sprite (left/right for this example) that has, say, 6 frames in each animation (6 for walking left, 6 for walking right). Then, create a sprite that has 6 frames of animation for each shooting state (6 for shooting left, 6 for shooting right).
Create an invisible inventory item called "isNotShooting", initial value 3, max 3.
Then, create a global special function that is activated when the fire button is pressed, which requires 2 isNotShooting inventory and uses them up which does the "Switch to a new sprite" function. Switch to the firing sprite, retain old state, in same location as old, delete old sprite.
Create another global special function that adds one to the isNotShooting inventory constantly.
And finally, create a third special function that requires three isNotShooting inventory which switches back to the old sprite, same flags as the first special function.

You've got me on the right direction , but I still can't get it to work. My sprite just disappears. Maybe is has something to do with the 2nd, special function, I don't see anything about 'adding' or 'continuously' Did you mean add player interaction? Please help. I'm a beginner, so you'll have to be pretty descriptive. THANKS.
