+ Code Snippet

`movement
if upkey()=1 : move object 1,MSframe#: loop object 1,2,14 : play music 2 : loop music 2
if upkey()=0 : stop music 2
endif
endif
if downkey()=1:move object 1,-MSframe#:loop object 1,2,14 : play music 2 : loop music 2
if upkey()=0 : stop music 2
  endif
  endif
if leftkey()=1:dec a#,TSframe# : play music 2 : loop music 2
if leftkey()=0 : stop music 2
endif
  endif

I had the same problem until this morning

You must have something like this in your program so it idles when your not holding down the key

+ Code Snippet

if upkey()=0 + downkey()=0 + leftkey()=0 + rightkey()=0 + mouseclick()=0
 loop object 1,idlestart,idleend

I just kind of took this code from my program where the arrowkeys are the moevement keys and mouseclick is attacking.

I'm still very new at DBPRO and have not posted much, but please tell me if it works.

Hallo friends...the only thing you have to do in order to animate your model by different animations, is to be sure that you specify the first and last frame for your desire animation in every moment

something like:

loop object my_object,20,30

where we have to prepare our model runing for examlpe from frame 20 to 30....and so on

an example worth more than thousand words. i hope it can be useful for you.

oh my god
