I've modified Link's wooden sword to look like a whip.
When Link is facing up and uses it, everything works fine, but when he is down and uses it, the whip appears in his shield holding hand.
Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Sword trouble
maybe flip the attack/sword tiles? press H to do that, and it should come out fine
yes, if it appears in the wrong hand the tile that it uses is not anligned correctly.
well, it wouldn't matter because you cant use the shield while attacking anyway
No but it would look weird as all of a sudden, his shield disappears and the whip appears in the same hand. As mentioned above, it would be an alignment issue. Try moving it a couple pixels to one side or the other (edit the tile, and then press left or right on the keyboard to shift the entire tile to the side 1 pixel at a time).
