Im having trouble to get two things to move at once. e.g. if the player needs to shoot, it needs a do..loop to cycle through the frames of animation, but when thats happening other animation frames (e.g. for enemies etc) are unable to cycle. PLease could someone help me re-arrange my main loop ect.. I have attached my source so u can get the gist of what im on about (the main game starts 1/2 way down, also if you see anything else drastically wrong other than this let me know.

in your do...loop try puting a condition that when it reaches that condition it will stop.


or have one do...loop in another like:


I haven't tried it for the type of thing your doing, but this is my best logical guess.

Errr Noooo! Don't do any of the do loop inside a do loop...

Really, you just need

Sync On

At the beginning of your code, and ......

Sync

Near to the loop command.

Everything waits for the sync command to be called before you see anything happen.

I'm guessing:

do
if something=1
i=i+1
[some stuff]
if i=300 then something=0
endif
if spacekey()=1 then something=1
loop
