The `get()` function is returning a PImage. You should assign that image to a PImage variable.
You should also do this in `setup()`, because you only want to “cut” the image once, since that image does not change.
Your code also has… other problems. If you are trying to use setup() and draw() functions, you need curley braces around the instructions in their bodies:
```auto
PImage Walking;
PImage cut;
color c = color(0);
void setup(){
background(c);
noStroke();
fill(c);
Walking = loadImage("Walking-Animation.png");
cut = Walking.get(0, 0, Walking.width/6, Walking.height);
}
void draw(){
display();
image(cut, pos.x, pos.y);
}
void display (){
background(c);
move();
}
```

When your walking animation has 6 images (frames) on the sheet, you need an array to store them (the walk animation).
**How to do it**
So this line
> [@TfGuy44](#):
>
> ` cut = Walking.get(0, 0, Walking.width/6, Walking.height);`
must be placed in a for-loop (example for when all 6 images are _next to each other_ in the initial image) :
```auto
for (int i=0; i<6; i++) {
cut[i] = Walking.get( i * (Walking.width/6.0), 0, Walking.width/6, Walking.height);
}
```
`cut` must be an array
```auto
PImage[] cut = new PImage[6];
```
**Animation**
When we animate, you would loop `cut[]`:
```auto
image(cut[frame], playerX, playerY);
frame++; // or use a timer with millis() to slow it down
if (frame>=6)
frame = 0;
```
**Different kind of animations**
Sometimes, there are even different animations, like walk left/right, stand jump land, fire…
if this is so, you need
- a 2D array `cut[][]` and
- use state (like walk left/right, stand jump land, fire…) and frame variable: `cut[state][frame]`
- you set `state` when he makes the movement like walk left, walk right, jump…
- you set `frame` like above. Presumably you reset frame to 0 every time you set state.

While I havent personally played around with the idea, I’ve seen the copy function being used for this aswell

Chrisir, it said that get expects parameters like ‘get(int, int, int, int);’
Rather than ‘get(float, int, int, int, int);’

It also said that the variable ‘frame’ does not exist.

You have to debug your code. Proof reading it etc.
**First**

>
> it said that get expects parameters like ‘get(int, int, int, int);’
> Rather than ‘get(float, int, int, int, int);’
> [@Chrisir](#):

these are 4 parameters (why did he mention Rather than “get(float, int, int, int, int)” ? )
Try using int() command on the first parameter.
```auto
cut[i] = Walking.get( int ( i * (Walking.width/6.0) ) , // use int () here maybe; use * sign here
0,
Walking.width/6,
Walking.height);
```
* * *
**Second**

>

That’s right, you need to declare new variables.
Please post your entire code to make progress.
