Debugging a program can take longer than writing it! I'd suggest breaking parts of the program out of the whole program and testing them separately. That way you'll be able to figure out what works, what doesn't work, then get help here on more specific problems. Just saying "it's all stuffed - please debug for me" is a big ask for a 400+ line program!

well I took out all the enemy code so it was just the firing and mouse control. I took code out from the functions as I wasn't getting any values from them before.



Made in DB Classic, hope you get no probs.

Maybe it's the functions?

Thanks computer, it helped that problem.

But there's still a problem or two. The policeman's still is streched out of size and un-animated.
the image is laid out fine, and these are the sprite no.
1 still
2-8 appear
9-12 attack
13-16 pain
17-23 die
24 fade

Oh and i posted the entire code 'cause i've seen posts where people ask for context, and the prob might be elsewhere. Oh well!

Here's the revised code:



There's also the problem of the health, but i'm sure i can fix that.
Thanks guys

Okay i'll rephrase: please look at the "emeny" section of my code, becuase the animation is streched and not playing...

I have had this same problem trying to get .x animations to play in DBPro, I have loaded them, set the start and end frames and attempted to play them, both one shot and looping, and they do not play, all I get is a vibrating black cube, and it is textured and everything in milkshape3d before I export it to *.x file, maybe this is your problem, not sure, haven't looked at your code.

No, it's 2d junk. You know... animated sprites.
