hi, im trying to get my character to move right when i press the D button, and left when i press the A . Here is my code, can anyone tell me where to go from here?


///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

///////////////////////////////

PANEL* boxie =
{
bmap = "boxie.bmp";
pos_x = 300;
pos_y = 300;
layer = 1;
flags = OVERLAY | SHOW;
}

PANEL* walk =
{
bmap = "boxiewalk.bmp";
pos_x = 300;
pos_y = 300;
layer = 1;
flags = OVERLAY;
}

PANEL* dead =
{
bmap = "boxiedead.bmp";
pos_x = 300;
pos_y = 300;
layer = 1;
flags = OVERLAY;
}

function animateboxie()
{
while(!key_d) wait(1);
while(1);
{
if(key_d){boxie.pos_x -=24*time_step}
}
}

while(1); is wrong.

while(1)
{
if(key_d){boxie.pos_x -=24*time_step}
wait(1);
}

ok, here the animation part of the code, but it says that while(1) is wrong, I've tried deleting it, but then it says the next line is wrong.

function animateboxie()
while(1)
{
if(key_d){boxie.pos_x -=24*time_step}
wait(1);
}

and also, how would i code it to alternate between two picttures (boxie.bmp, and boxie.walk)

you're missing a semicolon ";"

i tried putting it there, it still didnt work.

what is the exact error message you get?

oh stupid me
you're missing the whole function braces "{" and "}"

ok here the code now, and the error message still comes up saying "error in MAIN line 37, 'if(key_d){boxie.pos_x -=24*time_step}' "

function animateboxie()
{
while(1);
if(key_d){boxie.pos_x -=24*time_step}
wait(1);
}
