Hey everybody I'm currently doing an assignment for school and I'm really stuck on this part. I've staring at it and googling things for hours and I'm having any luck. I have included below what I have so far.

The directions aren't that good.

"Create a public enum CharacterState for the 4 image states: Attacking, Defending, Idle, and Dead.
Now create a member variable state to hold the character state and a public property State with a get
and set. For now, fill in the default behavior of get and set to return/set the value of state."

Any help would be greatly appeciated! Thank you

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Media;

namespace WPFBattle
{
class CharacterImage: System.Windows.Controls.Image
{

public enum Attacking{

}

public enum Defending{

}

public enum Idle{

}

public enum Dead{

}

public ImageSource IdleImageSource { get; set; }
public ImageSource AttackingImageSource { get; set; }
public ImageSource TakeDamageImageSource { get; set; }
public ImageSource DeadImageSource { get; set; }

protected void UpdateImageSource()
{
switch (State)
{
case CharacterState.Attacking:
this.Source = AttackingImageSource;
break;
case CharacterState.TakeDamage:
this.Source = TakeDamageImageSource;
break;
case CharacterState.Dead:
this.Source = DeadImageSource;
break;
case CharacterState.Idle:
default:
this.Source = IdleImageSource;
break;
}
}

protected override void OnRender(DrawingContext dc)
{
UpdateImageSource();
base.OnRender(dc);
}

public CharacterState State
{
get { return state; }
set
{
state = value;
this.Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() =>
{
UpdateImageSource();
}));
}
}

}
}

What I have tried:

Googling various things, and I tried to follow the directions but nothing seems to be working

Use a code block to format your code. No one like to read unformatted color without syntax coloring. By taking an extra minute when asking your question, you would improve by a huge factor the chance that someone help you. I rarely help people that do at least some effort.

Solution 1

you define enums like this:

C#

public enum CharacterState{Attacking,Defending,Idle,Dead}

the class variable should be like this:
Edit: improved second part of answer

class CharacterImage{
//member variable
private CharacterState characterState;

//property
public CharacterState State
{
get{return characterState;}
set(characterState=value;}
}
}

Thank you very much for your response! I fixed the enum part but I'm still a little confused on the "Now create a member variable state to hold the character state and a public property State with a get and set. " part. I'm not sure exactly how to fix that issue.
