Problem with Sprite

In my program there is an icon of player and icon of enemy. Player can move using ALLEGRO_KEY_RIGHT, ALLEGRO_KEY_DOWN,ALLEGRO_KEY_RIGHT, ALLEGRO_KEY_LEFT. To create AI I used srand(time(NULL)); function, then:

#SelectExpand
1if (events.timer.source == enemy1TypeTimer) 2{ 3 enemy.choDir = rand() % 3; 4}

program generates 3 random numbers: 0,1 and 2. If 1- the following direction will be chosen : Right or Left, if 2- Top or Bottom.

I create another condition to chose between right and left, top or bottom:

#SelectExpand
2if (enemy.choDir == 1){ 3 if (enemy.y<player.y) 4 { 5 enemy.y += enemy.moveSpeed; 6 enemy.dir = DOWN; 7 } 8 else 9 { 10 enemy.y -= enemy.moveSpeed; 11 enemy.dir = UP; 12 } 13 } 14 if (enemy.choDir == 2) 15 { 16 if (enemy.x<player.x) 17 { 18 enemy.x += enemy.moveSpeed; 19 enemy.dir = RIGHT; 20 } 21 else 22 { 23 enemy.x -= enemy.moveSpeed; 24 enemy.dir = LEFT; 25 } 26 }

AI logic works well; when I start the program, enemy go in my direction. BUUUT don't know why the sprite effect doesn't work well. It works only with direction left and right. The graphic looks like that:

Can someone tell me what to do to create working correctly sprite effect? I'm trying to solve this problem all day and I don't have any ideas what's wrong.. Please help! :-/

Here is my full source code:

You need to use "else if" here:

        else if (enemy.choDir == 2)

Otherwise anytime choDir is 1, the else following this gets executed, setting the enemy to inactive.

Trent's right. Also, you've got a couple assignments in your if statements:

if (events.timer.source = frameTimer)//6)

In addition, this block seems to be redundant.

That's a cool, little sprite you've got there.

I can't believe that the answer is so simple! Thx you both!!! It works!! ;)
