Im stuck on doing an explosion animation for my cement block sprites [duplicate]

This question already exists:
I want to do an explosion animation. I have 4 png files number 0 - 3. In my debris class I loaded them into an image list using a for loop [duplicate]
Closed 1 year ago.
I want to do an explosion animation. I have 4 png files number 0 - 3. In my debris class I loaded them into an image list using a for loop. Then I made an explosion function but when I load my pygame windows and start shooting my cement block sprites, my cement block sprites disappear which is fine but they don't do the exploding animation I want. How can I fix this problem. Would appreciate the help.

Pygame: player sprite colliding incorrectly and clipping into wall

I am creating a 4-way movement, tile based rpg. The code I have written for collision detection is relatively simple but I have a minor graphical error.
The player moves directly between evenly spaced tiles. To control the speed the player moves at there is a walk buffer of 200 seconds. When the player collides with a wall, they should be pushed back in the same direction they hit the wall. This works, however, very briefly the player sprite will flicker in the wall.
I suspect it's to do with the player update function and how that's ordered but I've messed around with it to no avail.

You're setting the rect before checking for collision but not resetting it after the collision check.
Here is the updated code (in Player class, update method):
self.hit_rect.topleft = self.pos
player_collisions(self, self.game.walls) # may change postion
self.hit_rect.topleft = self.pos # reset rectangle

How to jump only when standing on the ground? (Python)

As of now, I jump whenever I press space. How can I make it so I only jump when standing on something? Would I create some variables such as STANDING and JUMPING? And if I do, how to I reference to them in my class Player? Here is my code, all help is appreciated. Thanks everyone.

In your Player class add a standing flag. Then when space is pressed before performing the jump check if standing is true. If standing is false then do not allow the jump to happen, essentially:
onSpaceBar() {
if(standing) {
\\ perform jump
standing = false;
}
}
Then also make sure after the jump is completed (i.e. you land on something) set the standing flag back to true.

The error is caused by a sprite in your all_sprites group that has a list as its self.image attribute. I've just printed the sprites before the all_sprites.draw(screen) line
for sprite in all_sprites:
print(sprite, sprite.image)
and it was the player sprite which had a list as its image.
<Player sprite(in 1 groups)> [<Surface(40x25x32 SW)>, <Surface(40x25x32 SW)>]
In the load_movement_images method you define self.standing_frame as a list of two images/pygame.Surfaces and in __init__ you set self.image to the first item of that list. But in the animate method you set self.image to the whole list instead of the active image self.image = self.standing_frame and that leads to the error.
class Player (pygame.sprite.Sprite):
# Sprite for the player
def __init__(self):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
self.load_movement_images()
# self.image is the first image in the
# self.standing_frame list.
self.image = self.standing_frame[0]
# ...
def load_movement_images(self):
self.standing_frame = [no_mvmt_0, no_mvmt_1]
# ...
def animate(self):
now = pygame.time.get_ticks()
if not self.jumping and not self.running:
if now - self.last_update > 350:
self.last_update = now
self.current_frame = (self.current_frame + 1) % len(self.standing_frame)
# Here you set the self.image to the self.standing_fram list instead one image.
self.image = self.standing_frame
# It should be:
# self.image = self.standing_frame[self.current_frame]

Pygame: Accessing colliding sprite's properties using spritecollide()

I am building a top down shooter in the style of Raiden 2. I need to know how to get access to the enemy object when I detect collision using 'spritecollide'.
The reason I need the enemy object is so that I can lower their energy level for every bullet that hits them.
This is the dictionary that I have to work with:
enemyCollisions = pygame.sprite.groupcollide(shipBulletGroup, enemyGroup, True, False)
Here's my Bullet class:
class Bullet(Entity):
def __init__(self, ship, angle):
Entity.__init__(self)
self.speed = 8
self.level = 0
self.image = pygame.Surface((BULLET_DIMENSIONS, BULLET_DIMENSIONS)).convert()
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.rect.x = ship.rect.centerx
self.rect.y = ship.rect.top
self.angle = angle
def update(self, enemyGroup):
if self.rect.bottom < 0:
self.kill()
else:
self.rect.y -= self.speed
Here's my unfinished Enemy class:
class Enemy_1(Entity):
def __init__(self):
Entity.__init__(self)
self.speed = (1, 1)
self.energy = 10
self.begin = False
self.run = False
self.image = pygame.Surface((WIN_W/5, WIN_H/15)).convert()
self.image.fill((70, 70, 70))
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.rect.centerx = WIN_W/1.333
self.rect.y = -WIN_H/15
def shoot(self):
bullet_1 = Bullet(self, 270)
bullet_2 = Bullet(self, 225)
bullet_3 = Bullet(self, 315)
def update(self, enemyGroup, timer):
if timer == 300:
self.begin = True
elif timer == 900:
self.run = True
elif timer > 900 and self.rect.x > WIN_W:
self.remove(enemyGroup)
if self.run:
self.rect.x += self.speed[0]
self.rect.y += self.speed[1]
elif self.begin:
self.rect.y += self.speed[1]
if self.rect.y > WIN_H/4:
self.rect.y = WIN_H/4

The pygame.sprite.groupcollide() function returns a dictionary which values are list objects:
Every Sprite inside group1 is added to the return dictionary. The value for each item is the list of Sprites in group2 that intersect.
Thats the reason why calling print enemyCollisions[key].energy when iterating over the return dict fails, since a list object -- the value of enemyCollisions[key] -- does not have an energy() method.
To access all values of a dictionary in Python 2.X you could use the .itervalues() method of a dict instance. To get each colliding sprite, iterate again over these values:
enemyCollisions = pygame.sprite.groupcollide(shipBulletGroup, enemyGroup, True, False)
#iterate over all values of the enemyCollisions dict
for enemyCollisions in enemyCollisions.itervalues():
#access all enemies which collided with an shipBullet
for enemy in enemyCollisions:
print enemy.energy

The syntax for accessing the collided sprite's property is as follows:
collisions = pygame.sprite.spritecollide(self, pillGroup, True)
for key in collisions:
self.density += key.density
