Hi, I've been trying to amke an animation program for a while now, but can't het it to work properly. I was wondering of anyone knew a function or something that could save keyframes. In this program I plan to make it something like gamespace or truespace, but without the modeling part. Well I have'nt seen anything like this so I thought I would try to make one.

When I die, I want to be burried upside down, so thy critics, can kiss my a$$...

im not to sure about this, but cant darkbasic save the anim for you? I think the command is SAVE ANIM TO FILE or something. check the help to see if that saves keyframes.

There is a command like that but for some reason it keeps messing up.
I reckon the best way to do it is to store rotation and offsets to an array. Then use the SAVE ARRAY command.
Then include a load function.
If you need more help then just ask because this was how I did it for my animation program.

Hey, I have an Idea. You should have it to where you position the limb or object and when you press a specific button or something it will store that data (i.e. the positions and rotations) at that specific time.(you will need some sort of counter that will tell the limb/object to ratate to this once the timer reaches that point.) and in order to get the keframes working you should set it to rotate using a curvevalue. The curvevalue will fill in all of the inbetween information and move the object dependant upon the speed that you put in. Here is the curvevalue code:
Curvevalue(Destination variable, original variable, speed)
If you don't get what I'm saying, sorry, but I tried.

Love to love me baby!
