I've been looking around the forums for something telling me how to use more than one animation on an object. It seems that the append object command isn't very reliable so is there another way of doing the same job?

Well if you want the animations seprate on the object then creat the two halfs of the object in a .x editor, texture each half with a different animation, export each half as seperate files and glue them together in db. If you need them to overlap make two of the same object, texture each with different anims, make one transparent and overlapp them so they look like one object. Hope that helps

There was something like this in the bone deforation thread a while ago, that was for being able to move the characters head independantly of the animation that was playing.

Another idea may be to animate the model as usual, and then use db to save the animation of a single limb to a text file, so you have a range of animations saved. Then you could use the position object limb command to play animations onto induvidual limbs...just a rammbling idea, i think ill try it some time.

All I do is use the set frame command.
Eg.
If the user is pressing the upkey set the frame to 0 since thats where the running frame starts, and end it at 60 since thats where it ends and the next animation begins. If they hit the crouch button set the frame to the crouch frame and the end frame to whatever the end of the crouch ani is. Then as a default if nothing is pressed keep the frame at 0 since that is the model just standing. Seems to work pretty good for me.
