now that i've got your attention.

ok, I've got 2 animations, "idle.x" and "run.x"
so I says to the DBPro

load object "idle.x", 1
append object "run.x", 1, 20

my idle.x animation is 20 frames long, if I try to do any number other than 20, I get an error, so I figure that's ok
BUT when I try to move and use the old

IF stageoldstage
IF stage=0
SET OBJECT FRAME 1,0.0
LOOP OBJECT 1,0,19
SET OBJECT SPEED 1,50
ENDIF
IF stage=1
SET OBJECT FRAME 1,20.0
LOOP OBJECT 1,20,59
SET OBJECT SPEED 1,150
ENDIF
oldstage=stage
ENDIF

all I get is the last frame of the idle.x animation
i try different start and end frames, still same

if I switch idle.x and run.x it shows the run animation, but when I move, I get the last frame of run animation

i don't get it

so confused, have headache, have had headache for 3 days now... please, if you would be so kind.. help

have you tried 21 instead of 20 since your apending the run at the end of the idle?

ok, your problem is:

You are trying to append run.x to idle.x
Load run.x
append to run.x
now, if upkey()=1 then play object 1,1
Should work

umm... yeah.. well, what I don't get is that I'll copy the 3d man walking code in the tutorials taht come witb DBC, and just replace the file names and keyframe numbers and it still does the same thing. so I have no idea, maybe something's wrong with my models, I don't know, they all work fine on their own, I just have problems appending

Is it even possible to make it one full model & if so, have you tried this, instead of making several seperate models? I would like to know how to do this too, but I just want one model.

Thx,

Oh, by the way, I just clicked on the link for the stupidity of clicking on a link. Not many people like those things for a living, only some people, im not just one of them. I am tired & I probably clicked on the wrong link, I dont remember, im in an endless trance until I cant get sleep.

Why not just animate the objects and play the animations. One of the character running and one of the character not running.

Something like this:



This will work in DB but I'm not sure about Pro. It should work but maybe the commands/syntax are different.

And, yeah, you're are probably losing out because of the subject title.

There are only two reasons that I clicked the link:
1) I'm 16
2) My girlfriend told said to click it(not really, she told me not to click it; all the more insentive to click it)

If you want fresh underwear in the morning, take it off the night before.

NUDITY = Bad always, but hey, it's been clicked on almost 100 times since yesterday

Yeah, having all animations on one file would be extremely nice, but I can't seem to place breaks in the animations in milkshape, oh well

And having several different objects would not be too efficient for this multiplayer game, because well, I tried it already and we've got models everywhere, haha, anyway, yeah, this is quite the pickle

I'm sure there's at least one situation where nudity is good; on a nudist camp, for a start!

Are you just using the "loop object" command for animating then? The way I do it (or going to do it) is to define the breaks for the animations within the code itself, and then use a counter and a few lines of code to switch to the next frame of animation every sync.

Yeah, i see, but when I append I can't access any frame after 20 (last frame of idle.x) it's like when I try to append, they don't append, but I get no errors and it's annoying

Off the top of my head, does the append object command have a parameter that sets the frame offset? So, if you're trying to add your running animation to the end of the 20 frame-long idle animation, I think you'd need to set your frame offset to 20.

Take a look in the help file, it should clear things up.

---------------------------------------------

what you are doing here is saving key() commands as a variable, and then making it to where when the key() commands are pressed it plays the animation and moves the object...

-hope that works

I meant nudity - bad in single/dating life, good in married life because of your wife at times, unless she makes up an excuse about a roast in the oven.

Anyway, thx for the code,
