Problem with picking up items

i have some problems while working on my game.

1.  when link picks up an item,  it is normal but under him, there another link sprite.

2.  While holding an item, link is still able to slash, how can i prevent that?

Re: Problem with picking up items

The wording of your first question is odd, but the answer to both of them could be the use of states. This involves having a generic local or global variable called "state" which keeps track of whether you are "normal" (walking around or stopped), "sword" (slashing/walking/or spinning with sword), "holding" (holding something above yourself), etc.

Assuming that in the first problem you had was that when you walked around you had Link's walking sprite animation with his holding sprite animation, the use of states would make it so the correct animation would work. For the second problem, having it set up so you could only slash when you are in the "normal" state would solve your issue.

And really though, if there is an issue with doing something in any programming language, just think about it logically - the program only does exactly what you made it to do.

Re: Problem with picking up items

1. That's very strange, I'll need to see the code.

2.Just do:
//in the code for getting item:
status = HOLDING_ITEM

//in the code for pressing the button/key to slash:
if(status!=HOLDING_ITEM)
{
    //slash
}

//or this:

if(status!=HOLDING_ITEM)
{
    //slash
}
else
{
    //do something else (ex.: throw item and set back status=NORMAL)
}
