im having some trouble with moving my character and playing tha animations smoothly.when im not moving(move#=0)and the idle animation loops when upkey()=1,move#=1 and i want to move the player and loop the walk animation.theres like a pause when i press the upkey and move the walk ani doesnt start till a couple of seconds and also when im walking the ani is looping but its jumpy from when it reaches the end and starts over the charcter jumps how can i smooth this out here my code.before the main loop i set the speed and interpolation.

+ Code Snippet

if upkey()=1 
      Pmove#=1
         stop object 1
         set object frame 1,26
         loop object 1,26,51
         move object 1,3
      endif
   
   if upkey()=0
      Pmove#=0
         stop object 1
         set object frame 1,0
         loop object 1,0,25
      endif

Why don't you do something like this.

+ Code Snippet

Frame=1

if upkey()=1 
      Frame=Frame+1
      set object frame 1,Frame
      move object 1,3
endif
   
if upkey()=0
      Frame=0
      set object frame 1,Frame
endif

Then you would limit the Frame variable to a certian value, the object's last animation frame. Then if it goes over that value, it will go back to zero.

+ Code Snippet

if Frame > 80 then Frame = 0

Don't let life get you down, it will only get better.

After MSN seding failed, try this one

+ Code Snippet

`This is a mimic of the functions you may see in event-driven languages.
`Find out the scancode of the key you want to check, and replace the 'x' with that
`Make a variable called whatever you want ( something like KEY_e or KEY_i etc )
`and replace keyx with that.


   If KeyState(x) = 1 : If keyx = 0 : keyx = 1
   `** On KeyDown **



   `** End On Down **
   Else
   `** While KeyHeld **



   `** End Held **
   EndIf : Else : If keyx = 1 : keyx = 0
   `** On KeyUp **



   `** End On Up **
   EndIf : EndIf

In the "On Down", that's where you set the "Walk" animation to loop.
In the "While Held" that's where you move the player.
In the "On Up" that's where you set the "Idle" animation loop
