Okay, i'm trying to make a sprite do all the frames of it's animation when i press the control button... but instead of getting that i have to hold down the button for it to execute and so long as you hold it down it loops infinitely. As i said.. i want one key press to activate the whole animation without having to hold buttons down. Any help would be much appreciated.

Creating a boolean and once pressed it turns the boolean to true, if the animation played once reset the boolean to false. And keep checking if the boolean's value. If you want the animation to play once:

+ Code Snippet

#include "DarkGDK.h"

bool playAni = false;

void DarkGDK()
{
	

	dbSyncOn();
	dbSyncRate(60);


	dbSetImageColorKey(255, 0, 255);

	dbCreateAnimatedSprite(1, "Sprite.bmp", 4, 4, 1);
	dbSprite(1, 50, 50, 1);

	while (LoopGDK())
	{
		
		if(dbControlKey() == 1)
		{
			playAni = true;
		}
		if(playAni)
		{
			dbPlaySprite(1, 1, 16, 60);
			if(dbSpriteFrame(1) == 16)
				playAni = false;
		}
		
		dbSync();
	}
}

else use dbLoopObject() instead of dbPlaySprite().
EDIT: new script.
