Crop image: look at get(). It can be used with PImage as well.
If you use this method, it is just a matter of getting the right coordinates for each frame / direction.
Otherwise, you need an array of arrays of PImage: the first dimension of the array is for the direction, the second one for the frame number.

Hello,

maybe you save the images individually naming them 0..44.jpg or so.
All exact same size.

Now you have one array with two dimensions:


images [ typeOfMovement ][ frameNumber ]


for the 1st index

you can use constants for the 1st index such as:

1. final int typeOfMovementStand = 0;
2. final int typeOfMovementDead = 1;
3. final int typeOfMovementWalkLeft = 2;
4. final int typeOfMovementWalkRight = 3;
5. final int typeOfMovementWalkUp = 4;
6. final int typeOfMovementWalkDown = 5;
7. final int typeOfMovementFight = 6;

Load all images in the array using the constants.

set

1. int typeOfMovementCurrent = typeOfMovementStand;

When you change the direction of your player figure (when walking), in void controls()
change

1.       typeOfMovementCurrent = typeOfMovementWalkRight; 

(e.g.) accordingly.


[[ remark: if you need it later :
you can use the constants in switch then etc. :
switch (typeOfMovementCurrent) {
   case typeOfMovementStand:
      ...
      break;
   case typeOfMovementDead:
    ...
      break;
     ......................
     ......................
     .....................
       default:
      // do nothing
      println("Error: shouldn't get here with " + typeOfMovementCurrent );
     break;
}
]]



for the second index

while walking just do

1. frameNumber ++;
2. if (frameNumber > maxFrame) {
3.       frameNumber = 0;
4. }

When maxFrame is not the same for all types of movement (I expect it'll be not the same),
have an extra list maxFrames [typeOfMovementCurrent] to store them individually.

1. frameNumber ++;
2. if (frameNumber > maxFrames[ typeOfMovementCurrent ]) {
3.       frameNumber = 0;
4. }

etc.

Greetings, Chrisir  

thank you Chrisir! im going to give that a try

: ( im sooo lost  im looking at:

I can't do this, this is too much time...

Cut your images,

write this for your program

1. images[0] = loadImage("PT_anim0000.gif");
   
2. images[1] = loadImage("PT_anim0001.gif");
   
3. images[2] = loadImage("PT_anim0002.gif");
4.  images[3] = loadImage("PT_anim0003.gif");
5.  images[4] = loadImage("PT_anim0004.gif");
   
6. images[5] = loadImage("PT_anim0005.gif");
   
7. images[6] = loadImage("PT_anim0006.gif");
   
8. images[7] = loadImage("PT_anim0007.gif");
   
9. images[8] = loadImage("PT_anim0008.gif");
   
10. images[9] = loadImage("PT_anim0009.gif");
    
11. images[10] = loadImage("PT_anim0010.gif");
    
12. images[11] = loadImage("PT_anim0011.gif");

implement what I said above...

otherwise you'll end up with a Code you don't understand

Greetings, Chrisir 

send me a personal message with yor e-mail adress

then cut the big picture above in the small images.

name them
WalkLeft0 (zero)
WalkLeft1
WalkLeft2
WalkRight0 (zero)
WalkRight1
etc.
etc.

you can send them to me when you've my e-mail-adress

cheers, Chrisir

ok soooo i got it so the character will change position to the left and to the right. 

ok, what does he println in the window below in your editor

movement is   ..... | ....|

?

you got twice

1.     images [typeOfMovementCurrent][i] = loadImage("WalkLeft0.jpg");

hello,

can you post the image of your figure (with the different frames) in a higher resolution?   

Or maybe send me via E-Mail?

Thank you so much!!!

Greetings, Chrisir
