PLAY OBJECT Object Number, Start Frame, End Frame

or if you want to continually play it.

LOOP OBJECT Object Number, Start Frame, End Frame

I was just using PLAY OBJECT 1, as my loaded object is 1.

But I have also tried:
PLAY OBJECT Object 1, 1, 90
and
LOOP OBJECT 1, 1, 90
With no success. Here is my code.

You probably don't get to see the animation playing. You should try looping the object instead of just playing. And are you sure that the object is animated?

Yes the object is animated and I am saving it as an animated .x file. though I am wondering if my exported is not making the .x correctly. Would I see a still image if the export was not working?

Finally can you change my code to you looping suggestion?

OK by looping I got 1 of my two objects to move. So why not the other?

Anyone want me to email my code and .x object?

OK now the piece of info I did not tell you. I am working with a beta DirectX export. So I think that may be the issue here. I still would like someone to look to my .x file to determine what is wrong with it.

Thanks

Thank you, Antdizzle!

I finally got it to work. It was the plugin. This helped squash the last bug. I appreciate everyone help a lot.
