I read the tutorial on the site about loading and pasting sprites, but it didnt mention how to animate them

I can post a whole picture of a sprite with each animation frame on it, but not the individual frames. If you can help me please feel free.

Here is some code to demonstrate the method. I've also included the graphic I used
(I presume you have the latest patch of DBP and Directx? I think animating sprites were broken somewhat in older versions... )



I think you already know this, but keep in mind that your animating sprite image should be stored as a single image, with each frame occupying an equal area of the image. This allows DB to 'slice' the image into seperate frames correctly

Hope this helps

PS: Feel free to use the image

Screw the rules...what can i blow up?

Ok your code worked but can you explain to me how it worked?

I tried to follow your example with my own ship but it just ended up not working.
========================================
As I was writing this message I was trying to figure it all out and I finally did.

Your code worked perfectly I just didnt know the reasons for each number behind the command. So when I changed the picture it got all messed up. Im good now.

Thank you!
