Hello, I want to make 2D type sprite movement


Purple-Skittles (2).rbxl (862.8 KB)

Like the Purple Skittles game that had made it, I tried looking through it since it is open source but I know nothing of scripting and cannot understand it.
I’d looked around and found nothing similar.

You can change the image of the 2d image (which is facing the camera) when the user presses a certain movement key

Change the ‘Rotation’ property of the ‘ImageLabel’ instance.

I don’t know how to do that, if you could show anything that could help would be much appreciated
I updated the post to a .rbxl file of the game that I downloaded from the website

In a LocalScript:

repeat task.wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("ScreenGui")

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local sprites = {
	spriteUp = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.SpriteUp, -- The sprite that is shown when moving up
	spriteDown = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.SpriteDown, -- The sprite that is shown when moving down
	spriteLeft = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.SpriteLeft, -- The sprite that is shown when moving left
	spriteRight = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.SpriteRight -- The sprite that is shown when moving right
}

userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
		for _, i in sprites do
			if i.Name ~= "SpriteUp" and i.Visible then
				i.Visible = false
			elseif i.Name == "SpriteUp" and not i.Visible then
				i.Visible = true
			end
		end
	elseif key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then
		for _, i in sprites do
			if i.Name ~= "SpriteDown" and i.Visible then
				i.Visible = false
			elseif i.Name == "SpriteDown" and not i.Visible then
				i.Visible = true
			end
		end
	elseif key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
		for _, i in sprites do
			if i.Name ~= "SpriteLeft" and i.Visible then
				i.Visible = false
			elseif i.Name == "SpriteLeft" and not i.Visible then
				i.Visible = true
			end
		end
	elseif key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
		for _, i in sprites do
			if i.Name ~= "SpriteRight" and i.Visible then
				i.Visible = false
			elseif i.Name == "SpriteRight" and not i.Visible then
				i.Visible = true
			end
		end
	end
end)
