are all animations on a directx animated model kept in the same file where then we just call it in DBP by name or do I have to save several files with different animations for ex.

character.x (which contains all animations)

or is it just

shoot.x

PLAY OBJECT
These commands will play the animation data contained within the specified 3D object. You can optionally play the animation by providing a specified start and end frame. The parameters should be specified using integer values.

SYNTAX
PLAY OBJECT Object Number
PLAY OBJECT Object Number, From Frame
PLAY OBJECT Object Number, From Frame, End Frame

You can compile you're character and all associated animations with MilkShape.
Then in DBP you start the animations with:

PLAY OBJECT ObjNum, StartFrame, EndFrame
...or...
LOOP OBJECT ObjNum, StartFrame, EndFrame

Therefore you must keep a record of all the anim sequence
frames included in you're X file.
You can store those values in DATA statements.

If you own DBP take a look at the model "Miko.X"
which is on the cd, this is one of those file.

I would prefer to use MDL, but...

By the way... MDL/MD2/MD3 do they require licensing?
