I tried doing it again erased it and it still didn't walk he was still running.

When I press the run it works ok. But when I press the walk it won't do the walk animation! Also when I start the program it starts running already. I want it to not run when the program is started I want it to run when I press the buttons.

Answer 1

The Run command starts Timer1. When Timer1 is done it starts Timer2. When Timer2 is done it goes back to Timer1. So run is just toggling back and forth between Timer1 and Timer2.

The Walk command starts Timer5, which starts Timer4 --> Timer3 --> Timer2 --> Timer1...and then gets stuck in the Run cycle toggling between Timer1 and Timer2.

What should the Walk sequence be?

If you don't want anything to be animating, then select each Timer and set the Enabled property to FALSE. Make sure you aren't turning any Timers on in the Load() event of your Form.

Try something like this out:

Public Class Form1

    Private runSequence() As Image
    Private walkSequence() As Image
    Private runIndex As Integer = -1
    Private walkIndex As Integer = -1
    Private WithEvents trmRun As New System.Windows.Forms.Timer
    Private WithEvents trmWalk As New System.Windows.Forms.Timer

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        runSequence = {My.Resources.SONICRUN1_removebg_preview, My.Resources.SONICRUN2_removebg_preview,
            My.Resources.SONICRUN3_removebg_preview, My.Resources.SONICRUN4_removebg_preview}
        walkSequence = {My.Resources.SONICWALK1_removebg_preview, My.Resources.SONICWALK2_removebg_preview,
            My.Resources.SONICWALK3_removebg_preview, My.Resources.SONICWALK4_removebg_preview,
            My.Resources.SONICWALK5_removebg_preview, My.Resources.SONICWALK6_removebg_preview,
            My.Resources.SONICWALK7_removebg_preview, My.Resources.SONICWALK8_removebg_preview}

        trmRun.Interval = 100
        trmRun.Enabled = False
        trmWalk.Interval = 100
        trmWalk.Enabled = False
    End Sub

    Private Sub btnRUN_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRun.Click
        trmWalk.Stop()
        trmRun.Start()
    End Sub

    Private Sub btnWALK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnWalk.Click
        trmRun.Stop()
        trmWalk.Start()
    End Sub

    Private Sub trmRun_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles trmRun.Tick
        runIndex = runIndex + 1
        If runIndex = runSequence.Length Then
            runIndex = 0
        End If
        PictureBox1.Image = runSequence(runIndex)
    End Sub

    Private Sub trmWalk_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles trmWalk.Tick
        walkIndex = walkIndex + 1
        If walkIndex = walkSequence.Length Then
            walkIndex = 0
        End If
        PictureBox1.Image = walkSequence(walkIndex)
    End Sub

End Class
