This has got to be something simple I'm not able to see.

I have a sprite with multiple sub images, I am randomly choosing a sub image when it spawns,

How can I set it so it does not auto animate to the next sub image?

[graves23]

Save the random sub image into a variable.
And then put Code :

sprite_index = Variable

image_speed = 0;

Change image_speed :D

First you set the image_speed to 0 and then you give it a random image_index NOT sprite_index as graves suggested...

Cheers...

EDIT : typo

If you still need it:

Create Event of your object:

image_index = irandom(5) //chooses a random number from 0 to 5.
image_speed = 0;

Just as an extra note, image_speed is another one of those variables that exists in every object. It is basically the value that is added onto image_index every step, so an image_speed of 1 will change the sub image every step, whereas an image_speed of 0.25 will change the sub image every 4 steps. To change the sub image every second, you would use image_speed=1/room_speed;, and if you start using image_speed's greater than 1, the animation will start skipping sub images, so ideally you want to set the image_speed to a value between 0 and 1.
