I'm trying to get my model to do its entire animation without me having to hold the key down.. (by just pressing the key once).

Code so far:

+ Code Snippet

if (dbScanCode()==17) { // W 
			dbMoveObject( 1, .15 );
			dbSetObjectSpeed ( 1 , 19 );
			dbLoopObject ( 1, 15, 25 );
		}
				
		else if (dbScanCode()==31) {
			dbMoveObject( 1, -.10 );
			dbSetObjectSpeed ( 1, -20 );
			dbLoopObject ( 1, 1, 13 );
		}

		else if (dbScanCode()==57) {
			dbLoopObject( 1, 27, 39 );
		}

		else if (dbScanCode()==2) {
			dbSetObjectSpeed ( 1, 20 );
			dbLoopObject ( 1, 143, 159 );
		}

		else {
			dbSetObjectSpeed ( 1, 20 );
			dbLoopObject ( 1, 89, 109 );
		}

The animation for Key=17 (W) works fine as I want the animation to play whilst im holding the key.. But as for Key 57 (Space) and Key 2 (#1) I dont want to hold the key down for the animation to complete. I've tried dbPlayObject.. and it only plays the first frame then stops.

Maybe its a problem with the every so many else if statements.. if so how would I resolve this.. Thanks in advance.

You may want to check to see if object is playing first.

+ Code Snippet

if ((dbScanCode()==57) && (dbObjectPlaying(5)==FALSE)) 
{
     dbPlayObject(5);
}

This may be what your looking for, im not completely sure as I have not tested your code,

dbObjectPlaying() - Not sure if this is the command but it is something like this, check the documentation if it doesn't work.

the last "else {" is when you are not pressing anything, so if you press space it will start looping until it loops through again and it will stop.
