How would I make a child sprite animate with its parent?

[wojo1086]

Hello!

I have a parent sprite (which is a human body) and it has a child sprite (it's a piece of plate mail). The sprite sheet for the human and the sprite sheet for the plate mail are the exact same layout with the exact same animation frames. I was wondering if there was a way to have the plate mail follow the same animation sequence as the human, without having to map out its own animation sequences. 

 

Thanks!

You can just use

function update () {
    plateMail.frame = human.frame;
}

Oh wow. I didn't realize it was that simple. Thanks!
