i'm trying to animate a 3d model that is suplied with pro in the media section.

now i can easily show the model no problem but i can't append the animation file. i followed the help file commands and put them where i thought they should go but it didn't wanna work. it did compile though.

i was wondering if any1 could help me out and help me fix the problem. heres the whole code so far. mostly test code till its sorted.

+ Code Snippet

sync on:hide mouse
Sync rate 30
autocam off

width = 10000
depth = 10000

load image "desert.jpg", 1
load object "ColZ.x",1
append object "ColZ_Run.x",1,total object frames(1)+1

make matrix 1, width, depth, 100, 100
prepare matrix texture 1, 1, 1, 1
randomize matrix 1, 30
update matrix 1

position object 1,1000,10,1000
position matrix 1,0,0,0
POSITION CAMERA 0, 100, 0

SET CAMERA RANGE 1, 10000

rotate object 1,0,90,90

loop object 1,1,5

Do
   CONTROL CAMERA USING ARROWKEYS 0, 100, 10

   sync
Loop

it don't work this way

and it don't work like this either

rotate object 1,0,90,90

Do
   CONTROL CAMERA USING ARROWKEYS 0, 100, 10
   loop object 1,1,5
   sync
Loop

1 of the problems is that i don't know how many frames there is. i just guessed and no luck.

if i can get this sorted then any animation should be fine. then i can work on a collision routine of some sort.

thanks for any help given

dont use append object the model already has animation data, you only use that ifyou wont animation data from another object.
if it still doesnt work try using this to make the model move and aniimate:

+ Code Snippet

do
if upkey()=1 or downkey()=1
   if object looping(1)=0 then loop object 1
endif
if upkey()=1 then move object 1,1.2
if downkey()=1 then move object 1,-1.2
if leftkey()=1 then yrotate object 1,object angle y(1)-2
if rightkey()=1 then yrotate object 1,object angle y(1)+2
loop

(the speeds and angles are just guesses so thay probably need changing)

hope that works and helps, get back to me with the results.
