How would I change the player's animation while firing a projectile?

[AaRonTheHedgehog209]

I'm trying to make my character change animation (or more specifically they're sprites) when they're firing. If you know a method I could try, please let me know.

Firing how?

Firing using Fang's spin ability?
If so, just add sprites called "FIRE" (I.E. FIREA1)

I mean replacing sprites when in different animations, my character can fire while moving. For example, if you are walking, the character will play their walk fire animation like Whisper's character does.
