Hey Ralph, I just wanted to say thanks for making the app, I like it a lot . The pro version is very cheap than most things like Adobe Flash. And works better than some things like Pivot. I just wanted to say thanks.
Sincerely, Delano Leslie
Thanks! It’s only slightly less expensive than Adobe Flash, though. Just a little bit.
Is there a way to put some blood effect or other visual effects?
Yes, you simply have to create it yourself though. As in, create a “blood” stickfigure and use it to simulate blood (or whatever other effect).
ok, but how exactly do you create them?

How to pro download

Ralph will you ever teach people who use stick nodes to make there stick figures run instead of walking
Probably not, but mainly because that’s not a Stick Nodes specific thing, it’s more of a general animation tutorial.
Search Youtube for “running stickfigure tutorial” and you’ll find tons of them, then just apply the same idea to Stick Nodes animations.
when i copy paste a stick in another frame and i start playing the animation, the stick keep flashing. Why?
I’m not sure, the only thing I can think of is if you skipped a frame where the stickfigure doesn’t appear?
Or is tweening on? If tweening is on and you’re not using the same EXACT stickfigure between two frames, it won’t tween and as a result will “disappear” for those inbetween tweened frames.
oh…then how do i fix it from disappearing?
Well again it depends, are you not missing the stickfigure on a frame?
Or is it the tweening issue?
To have a stickfigure tween appropriately, it needs to be the exact same stickfigure in two consecutive frames (one after the other).
By same exact, I mean literally the same exact. You can’t have a stickfigure in one frame, and in the next frame just add an identical stickfigure from the library and expect it to tween, it won’t work.
You’d need to instead copy the stickfigure in the first frame and paste it into the next frame, then tweening will appropriately be applied and he won’t “disappear” in between the two frames.
I can’t see the downloaded stickfigure
Please follow the instructions on the FAQ page, you have to move the file first.
