I have been having trouble getting an object with multiple types of animation. I can load an object that will walk or and object that will die, but i cannot get these onto one file. The end result is that i have to put two objects at the same point and hide the one that isnt playing. Is there an easier way?

Yes, use the Apend Object ( spelling? ) command.

THat allows you to load an object that has the same object information, but more anumation data.

Hope I Helped...

I tried that on a GI model. When i tried to append it the first time by using the :::append object "GI/H-GI-Die",1,1:::: it said that theappended frame must be greater thta models total frame. I figured that each model had 100 frames, and since it had to be greater, i replaced the last digit to 101. WHen i tried this it said Could not append object to model. I tried it on 100 and same thing. I have included both the codes, but neither of them work. I hope what i just typed makes sense. Please help if you can

The model has to have exactly the same number of limbs and other data for DB to make it work ( otherwise it has a fit and brings up errors ).

What you should do, is if the first model ( GI/H-GI-Move.3ds ) has say 54 frames, then you use the Append Object command on the second model, so that it's start frame is at frame 55 ( one after the first one ).

If you still have some issues, post the error message that you are getting and hopefully I'll be able to help you further.

Hope I Helped...
Jess.

TOTAL OBJECT FRAMES()
This command will return an integer value of the last known animation frame number of the specified 3D object. The parameter should be specified using an integer value.

SYNTAX
Return Value=TOTAL OBJECT FRAMES(Object Number)
