2d animation is buggy?

I have this code but I’ve been looking at it all day trying to optimize it so there’s no glitching or bugging when the characters changing directions or jumping.

I’ve tried a lot to fix it but it gets stuck in the idle animation sometimes and glitches/flickers when changing directions. when I jump it only play s the jump animation while I am holding down spacebar but I’m trying to make it so you have that animation anytime you’re in the air but the animations overlap, is there some way I can set a priority type of thing up? any help is appreciated, I apologize if my code is messy.

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

the reason im looping it is because im trying to animate it by making the image id switch from one to another to create a choppy like animation only while that key is help, im not saure if thers a better way to do this?

Learn to make and use spritesheets (which was used back then in old time games)
so you don’t need to use replace imagelabel and instead use OffsetImageX (whatever it might i forgot) it’s in imagelabel
but it was OffsetX and OffsetY
Learn Dicitrionaries and use them, they are much better than using local IsWhateverKeycode = false

here what is Dictironaires and you can read from roblox documentation
(Recommending take advantage of it and tutorials)
and Spritesheets too

local Status={
[0]="Standing",
[1]="Air",
[2]="Moving",
[3]="Sprinting"
}

local KeyCodes={
[Enum.KeyCode.A]=2,
[Enum.KeyCode.D]=2,
[Enum.KeyCode.Space]=1
}

thank you this makes a bit of sense, would you mind giving me an example of how to implement this in my code? also, where could i find a tutorial on sprite sheets for roblox?

You know, Youtube has got alot tutorials

basically Documentation actually explains (about Dictironaires) it well but not informative on something

here is explain of using dictironaires and putting modulescript’s function
and using dictironaires for In-game Match (this can used as information which (Status-game is in) for Server on Server Browser)

i’m not gonna teach alot so you have to self-learing

workspace:SetAttribute("v",0)
local m = require(--Your Modulescript)
-- this is status
local statusfunction = {
[0]=m.Notstarted
[1]=m.RoundisActive
[2]=m.Lost
[3]=m.Win
}

local function StatusMatch()
for i,v in statusfunction do
if workspace:GetAttribute("v") = i then -- this check if number is correct to statusfunction's dictironaires
v() -- this uses function
end
end

end

workspace:GetAttributeChanged:Connect(StatusMatch)
