What i mean is..if I create one model standing, another in the motion of walking,running,crouched,jumping,swimming etc etc, can I call each of those animated objects in DB classic when I need them
e.g <> A.I?
Enemy "sees" me and switches to "shoot.x" object. I shoot back..(....add collision event here....)enemies health drops to zero and then switches to "falldown.x" and drops to the floor.
Ok I just lost myself here, help

I think you do this with the append command, it appends a new animation to the current model. Look for it under basic 3D in the DB help files.

so as a crude example you could use it maybe as somethink like this...

enemy sees you= append "shoot.x", you kill the enemy= append "death.x"

of course I dont have the help files with me, and if my memory servs me correct its alot more complicated than that, but someone els will need to help you will the nitty griddy cause I really suck at coding.

Hope I helped, probably didnt though lol

Appending animation is only in loading progress usefull ... in game it might be little slow to read the animation from disk

Make one file for every movement and combine them with your code. For example you can make an own datatype to describe the movement.

Not really a good way to organise your animations. It's far easier just to seperate each action in your animation, so you might have frames 0 to 10 for an idle loop, then 11 to 20 for a walking loop - then you can simply loop the relevant part of the animation. I usually set the frame manually and have my own systems, with a little organising you can get nice fluid movements quite easily.

Appending animation should only ever be done when loading the model, but like I said, it's not a good way to work.
