So, this is the code I have to animate my character shooting a lightning ball, then when it hits the wall it explodes with contact indicator. However, when I press space, it animates and slooooooooowy crawls towards the edge of the screen... Haha And during this slow crawl, it won't let me move my character. I am after getting this to move along the screen quickly and allow movement while doing so.
I feel my entire way of animating might be bad... This is the only way I have learned of doing it and I am using C since that is all I have learned (still learning) and I am very beginner so I don't know if I would understand how to animate something using some complex method...
But yeah if anyone has advice or suggestions on how to get it to animate properly I would love to hear it!
Thank you!
