Vernon HulmeCommunity AnswerWhen (button) is pressed [or clicked depending on what you want to do], switch to costume (number). If you have multiple costumes, put a wait block (0.5 to 0.03 works best) between each one to make it fluid. -
QuestionHow do you make your character smoothly turn around? I don't want it to warp around or flash quickly.Vernon HulmeCommunity AnswerMake very fast wait blocks (less than a second, 0.5 to 0.03) and create multiple costumes. You put a wait block between every costume with the same wait time.
