I just started to learn pygame and there has been a issue of misplaced sprites. I think I don't have a clear idea of relation between image and rect. I got a player with standing and walking animation. standing
walking
in the code I just used get_rect so the rects look like
when I run the code the position of the image is decided by the top left corner(I think, I just don't really get this part) so the sprites are misplaced, when I press left key the player will flash to right a bit then start walking.
Is there any way to modify code so that they look like this when player walks left.
Here's my code for player
class Player():
def __init__(self,x,y):
self.img_stand = pygame.image.load('D:\ThingThing\inthething\H stand.png')
self.img_standL = pygame.image.load('D:\ThingThing\inthething\H standL.png')
#walk animation
self.images_right = []
self.images_left = []
self.index = 0
self.counter = 0
self.direction = 0
for num in range(1,17):
img_right = pygame.image.load(f'D:\ThingThing\inthething\H walk{num}.png')
self.images_right.append(img_right)
for num in range(1,17):
img_left = pygame.image.load(f'D:\ThingThing\inthething\H walkL{num}.png')
self.images_left.append(img_left)
self.image = self.img_stand
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
print(self.rect)
self.rect.x = x
self.rect.y = y
self.vel_y = 0
self.jumped = False
def update(self):
dx = 0
dy = 0
walk_cooldown = 8
#get key
key = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if key[pygame.K_LEFT]:
dx -= 1
self.counter += 1
self.image = self.images_left[self.index]
self.tempx = self.rect.x
self.tempy = self.rect.y
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.rect.x = self.tempx
self.rect.y = self.tempy
self.direction = -1
if key[pygame.K_RIGHT]:
dx += 1
self.counter += 1
self.image = self.images_right[self.index]
self.direction = 1
self.tempx = self.rect.x
self.tempy = self.rect.y
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.rect.x = self.tempx
self.rect.y = self.tempy
if key[pygame.K_SPACE] and self.jumped == False:
self.vel_y = -8
self.jumped = True
if key[pygame.K_SPACE] == False:
self.jumped = False
if (key[pygame.K_LEFT] == False and key[pygame.K_RIGHT] == False) or (key[pygame.K_LEFT] == True and key[pygame.K_RIGHT] == True):
self.counter = 0
self.index = 0
if self.direction == 1:
self.image = self.img_stand
if self.direction == -1:
self.image = self.img_standL
self.tempx = self.rect.x
self.tempy = self.rect.y
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.rect.x = self.tempx
self.rect.y = self.tempy
if self.counter > walk_cooldown:
self.counter = 0
self.index += 1
if self.direction == 1:
if self.index >= len(self.images_right):
self.index = 0
self.image = self.images_right[self.index]
if self.direction == -1:
if self.index >= len(self.images_left):
self.index = 0
self.image = self.images_left[self.index]
#jump + gravity
self.vel_y += 0.3
if self.vel_y > 10:
self.vel_y = 10
dy += self.vel_y
#collision
#move
self.rect.x += dx
self.rect.y += dy
if self.rect.bottom > 540:
self.rect.bottom = 540
dy = 0
#onto screen
screen.blit(self.image,self.rect)
pygame.draw.rect(screen,(255,255,255),self.rect,2)
I'm so confused with the top left rect thing. Maybe I should enlarge the rect of the standing animation? I also have no idea of how to resize the rect of the image after using get_rect.
