I got some x.files but when they move to shoot for example they move so slow. Does anyone know how to speed up the animation

If you check in the help files in DB you'll find something called SET OBJECT SPEED.

You know, I had a similar situation. And yes, as Bear Crazy pointed out, there is a SET OBJECT SPEED command, but that can only go from zero to 100.

The Alien 3D model in the last competition was a great example. At the fastest speed, he still wasn't fast enough for me. I wanted him to run, not to walk. In order to do this, I couldn't use the SET OBJECT SPEED command - so I implemented my own solotion without using PLAY and SET OBJECT SPEED.

I just coded something like this in my game loop:

SET OBJECT FRAME intObject, OBJECT FRAME(intObject) + 3
IF OBJECT FRAME(intObject) >= 720 THEN SET OBJECT FRAME intObject, OBJECT FRAME(intObject) - 50

This way, I was playing the animation 3 times faster than DarkBasic would allow. It's kind of like overclocking the object!
