Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

next time copy and paste tracebacks and code plz, your problem though is that self.walkCount//3 is working out to be too large

How can I fix this?

Div it by a higher number?

[warped patio]

You can use the modulo operator

It gives you the division remainder

But in this case you'll still have an extra number, so you might want to modulo by 2

!e

print(7%2) #remainder 1
print(8%2) #remainder 0```

ok thanks ill give it a go

do you think you could explain how this works cause the tutorial guy didnt really explain it

like why was i DIVing in the first place

[warped patio]

Because they wanted to repeat the images for a couple frames

So dividing w floor division will keep the number the same for a couple iterations

Which might be what you want now that I think about it

Or some combination of modulo and //

[nova bolt]

how come that didnt work for the crouching but did work for the walking?

it works perfect with %1

[warped patio]

With %1 you'll always get the same frame

[warped patio]

That's because the walking has more frames, so the division result exists in the list
