to make a model walk, use the MOVE OBJECT command. Then you need to animate the model appropriately and use the PLAY OBJECT command.

To make a model jump, you need a gravity subroutine that allows objects to fall, not just keep them glued to the floor. Then you need a vertical velocity variable(assuming you don't already) for the model and have it increase to make the model go up.

If you need help with gravity subroutines, check the forums. I know that I personally have answered that question several times so it is there.

Hope this helps!

You know that you can check codebase for these kind of things. Anyhow, have a code snippet. This code will moves a cube across a plain. Simple program that can be applied to your 3d objects. Don't forget the walking animations (if you have any). Hope I was of some service .

1. did you rig the models to be animated? Need to do more than just build a model, gotta build the aminimation frames for it as well.....

2. what are the keyframes for such actions e.x. 1-10 idle, 20-70 walking, 80-90 jumping,etc...

If yes to question one and you know your frames for each action ->

rem if player clicks right mouse button, character moves forward with walking animation....

if mouseclick()=2
move object player,.5
loop object player,20,70
endif

*if you havent built animations into the character check the 3-d discussion boards for which program or method will work best for your 3-d program.... I use milkshape which has a built-in animation program that exports to X format works great (for the most part)
