So thanks to the help of some of you I was able to figure out most of my problems with my ship. It has momentum to make it feel more space-y and the sprites change as they should depending on going up or down. The only problem is that when you go down it goes to sprite 1, then 2 a second later and when you go up it goes to sprite 3 then 4 a second later to make the movement feel more fluid but sadly if you are going down at a sprite 1 or 2 and then immediately go up it skips the in between sprites and goes staright to 3 then 4. What I would like it to do ix move smoothly between the 5 sprites so there isnt any jumping between them. How can I do that and sorry if this sounds so confusing. Im still quite new to this all and learning. Lol.

My Object So Far

Basically how I have it set up now is sprite 0 is default, 1 is down slightly and 2 is down completely. 3 is up slightly and 4 is up completely and I think this is where my problem lies since I cant do an easy = so cycle through the sprites. Any help is appreciated!
