Hi,

I'm trying to do a tank game similar to one of the tank demos on the DB site.

Dark Matter has 2 tanks with it. I can load them in DBPro, but can't seem to animate them (by using the Play Object command).

I checked the file (by opening the DirectX file in notepad). There seems to be animation keys in the file.

Do the tanks that come with Dark Matter come with animation? If not, does anyone know where I can get animated directx tanks?

Thanks,
john...

I think it has a moveing animation, ie the tracks turn, and the turret and barrel are limbs, so you should be able to get it to do whatever you want, all you have to do is load it into DB and then do "total object frames" to see how many animation frames it has, obviously if it is static then you won`t find any, you can rotate the turret and barrel as limbs to get then to track whatever you like, but since I am in Pro at the moment and I can`t get it to load 3DS properly I will leave that as an excercise for you

DOH!, or you could load it into the veiwer that comes with darkmatter and just look at it ?
