i've read around the forums and for several topics similar to this but none quite helped me enough so that i could fix the problem. I'm working on an fps and i animated my gun to give the appearance of walking(by moving it back and forth). I use the code "append object "run", total object frames(1) +1" and when i compile it DBP gives me and error that says,"cannot append to the object at line 26" I dont know why it would say that unless i'm animating wrong, or converting wrong(i animate it in 3ds max and then export it in .3ds format and then convert that to .x using another program)
here's my code...
