Subroutines. they are very easy. maybe in your game you have some kind of code that wil always be the same. so instead of copy pasting that code in every loop you make, you make a subroutine. as subroutine looks like this:

if you want to call a subroutine, you do like this

this is vary handy cause it cleans the code and is handy to debug, cause you can just delete the lines so you can check were the bug is

and about animating, i think DeleD Lite 2.0 does that, but it doesn;t have any exporters for it yet

so, a subroutine is pretty much the same as a function?

A subroutine is like a function, except:

1. You can't have local variables in subroutines, i.e. if you create a variable in a subroutine, other subroutines can access it (but not functions).

2. You can't pass parameters to a subroutine.

3. You can't return values from a subroutine.

Blender maybe, but thats hard. when DeleD will get some exporters, it'll be the best 3d moddeler and animator around for beginners, i think

OK, thanks for the advice. I Started using FragMotion and it seems pretty easy so I guess I'll use it.

CharacterFX is my choice for animating. I like Blender, too, but its .X exporter is a bit screwy with animation.

I've never tried Fragmotion, I keep hearing about it...
