Do You see the energy_sprite at the start?
If You see the energy_sprite - have you called the function init_animsprite() so that the sprite could animate?
If somebody needs Lite-C code, here it is.
(Tested and worked)
The only thing that was missing FLAG2 = VISIBLE
BMAP* panel_pcx = "panel.pcx";
PANEL* energy_pan = // background panel
{
bmap = panel_pcx;
layer = 20;
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
flags = D3D | OVERLAY | VISIBLE;
}
ENTITY* energy_sprite =
{
type = "energy+10.pcx";
layer = 25;
view = camera;
x = 350;
y = 134;
z = 100;
flags = BRIGHT | TRANSLUCENT;
flags2 = VISIBLE;
}
function init_animsprite()
{
while (1)
{
energy_sprite.frame += 0.5 * time_step;
if (energy_sprite.frame > 10)
{
energy_sprite.frame %= 10; // loop
}
wait (1);
}
}
