Step 6: Skins

Unless a Skin is defined at creation, one will be selected at random. There are three Enemy skins. Random(3) generates a random value between 0 and 2. By adding 1, the value is between 1 and 3.

• Skin of = 0

• : Set Skin to Random(3)+1

Earlier, depending on the Direction string, we set the animation direction to either 0 (right) or 16 (left). Now we will add the Skin value to the animation direction value. This will display the appropriate skin.

• Always

• : Set direction to Dir( "" )+Skin( "" )-1

For example, when an Enemy is given a random Skin value of 3, the animation direction will be set to either 18 (16+3-1) or 2 (0+3-1) and this is where the cop skin is stored.
