HI,
I'm not sure how to make a sprite
but heres my main question.

1. are they made like the ones in
RPG MAKER 2000 whrere all the
animations are on 1 bitmap or are they
on many different files .
2. how would DBpro know how to use them
(hope you can understand this qustion.)
or animate them correctly.

You can make sprites by putting all the images onto one bitmap. To separate them out, set the current bitmap to the one with all the sprites loaded, then get images for each one.



That code should put the sprites in tiles.bmp into separate images, numbered across then down. The variables are fairly straightforward to understand.

To use the images as sprites, use:



This is useful for animated sprites, because you can just loop the imagenumber and the sprite will animate:



That will loop a sprite from firstimagenumber to lastimagenumber. Hope that helps.

Oops. In the first code snippet it should be 'get image tilenumber,... ' not 'get image tileno,... ':



Also I forgot to explain that the first number in the 'sprite' command is the sprite number, you'll need to change that if you want more than one sprite.
