Give then the number of frames after a '+' at the end of the file name, example: explo+11.tga so i have to put each frame into an image file, so 11 frames in one image, this is rather repetitive to do however! copy pasting, resizing... i downloaded a resource and in it i saw that each frame was a seperate image file, like: +0snail.tga +1snail.tga +2snail.tga can it be done like that? how would i go about animating that if it can be done -dark- team INOV: CURRENT PROJECTS: http://www.youtube.com/user/teamINOV?feature=mhee FOLLOW US on twitter: http://twitter.com/team_iNoV check our blog: http://scionwars.blog.com/ shaders: http://shadec.project-havoc.com/ networking: http://www.anet-plugin.com/

But that needs a bit more coding. Code: STRING filename = "Filename+"; STRING* varname = ""; [...] while(...) { str_for_num(varname, my.skill1); str_cat(filename, varname); str_cat(filename, ".tga"); ent_morph(my, filename); my.skill1 ++; if(my.skill1 == maxcount) { my.skill1 = 0; } str_cpy(filename, "Filename+"); ... wait(1); } Last edited by Esp�r; 10/20/09 15:04.
