I'm making a 2d game for the alienware competition and I need to know how to make sprite animations. I couldn't find it in the help file, so if someone could just tell me the command, that would be great, thanks!!

no thats why the model is limbed and not mesh def. i would imagine.

imagine the cells required to make the sprite and make them one at a time in seperate cells or as an even strip of cells.

In DBP, the command to make a sprite is "CREATE ANIMATED SPRITE Sprite Number, Filename, Across, Down, Image Number".

what I need to know is what the corresponding command is in Dark basic standard.

There isn't a command like that in DB. You just make a sprite, and change the images yourself. It's very easy anyway.

It's very easy...

sync on
Load Image "Image1.bmp",1
Load Image "Image2.bmp",2
Load Image "Image3.bmp",3
Load Image "Image4.bmp",4
Load Image "Image5.bmp",5
Load Image "Image6.bmp",6

do
inc n
if n > 6 then n = 1
sprite 1,x,y,n
sync
Loop

This will run really fast! But it's just an example. Your job is to get the speed right.
